Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Peel the cucumbers if the skin is thick or bitter. If the seeds are large, halve the cucumbers lengthwise and scrape them out.

2. 2

   Slice the cucumbers as thin as you can, about 2 mm (1/16 in).

3. 3

   Toss the slices with 1/2 tsp of the salt in a colander and leave for 20 min.

4. 4

   Squeeze the slices gently in a clean towel to remove the liquid.

5. 5

   Stir the sour cream with the lemon juice, sugar, the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper in a bowl.

6. 6

   Fold in the cucumbers, dill and spring onion.

7. 7

   Taste and adjust the salt and lemon juice. Serve at once, or chill for up to 30 min.
