Ingredients

    Cucumber (with peel), 4 cucumber (8-1/4") (remove)
    Yogurt, plain, low fat, 4 cup (8 fl oz) (remove)
    Sour Cream, reduced fat, 1 cup (remove)
    Onions, raw, 2 small (remove)
    Dill weed, fresh, .5 cup sprigs (remove)
    Pepper, black, 1 tbsp (remove)
    *Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar, 2 tbsp (remove)

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 and 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 the second 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 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. Toss well and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and serve chilled.
