Method
In colander, sprinkle cucumber with salt ; let stand to drain for 30 minutes. Pat dry.Meanwhile, soak onion in cold water for 15 minutes; drain and pat dry.
In bowl, whisk together sour cream, dill, vinegar and sugar. Add cucumber and onion; toss to coat.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: You can also use a regular field cucumber to make the salad. Once you've peeled it, slice the cucumber in half lengthwise. Run a small spoon down the centre to scoop out the tough seeds, and then slice the cucumber.
