Ingredients

    4 hothouse cucumbers, thinly sliced (3-4 pounds)
    2 small red onions, thinly sliced in half rounds
    kosher salt
    4 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
    1 cup sour cream
    2 tbsp champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
    1/2 cup minced fresh dill
    1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Mix the cucumbers, red onions, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt in a bowl. Pour them into a colander and suspend it over a bowl. Wrap the bowl and colander with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to drain for at least 4 hours or overnight. Discard the liquid that collects in the bowl.

Pour the yogurt into a sieve lined with a paper towel suspend it over another bowl. Wrap the bowl and sieve in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Discard the liquid that collects in this bowl.

When the cucumbers are ready, roll them up in paper towels or a kitchen towel and press the towel lightly to remove most of the liquid. Place the cucumbers and yogurt in a large bowl with the sour cream, vinegar, dill, 2 tsp salt, and the pepper. Toss well and refrigerate a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and serve chilled.
