Serves 6 to 8
• 3½ lbs. cucumbers
• 1 tbsp. salt, and more to taste
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 Tbs. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. sugar
1. Peel the cucumbers, cut them in half lengthwise, remove any large seeds, and slice the cucumbers as thinly as possible. Toss the slices with the salt and leave them in a colander to drain for at least ½ hour.
2. Taking the slices a handful at a time, squeeze out the excess moisture between the palms of your hands. Combine the slices in a bowl with the sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, and a tiny bit more salt if it is needed. Toss together until all the slices are evenly coated, chill briefly, and serve.
