Method

Preparing the cucumber
Wash the cucumber, peel it thinly, then slice it into rounds or thin pieces.
5 min
Salting
Put the sliced cucumber in a bowl, salt it and leave it for about 20 minutes so that its juice is released.
20 min
Squeezing out the liquid
Pour off the released liquid and gently squeeze the cucumber by hand, so that the salad does not become watery.
Making the dressing
In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt until smooth and even.
3 min
Tossing together
Fold the cucumber into the sour cream dressing, then add the finely chopped dill and black pepper to taste.
2 min
Resting
Refrigerate the salad for at least half an hour so the flavours can meld, then taste once more before serving.
