Mizeria

(Cucumber Salad)

2 or 3 cucumbers, peeled
Salt
Vinegar
Pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon chopped dill (optional)
Sour cream

Thinly slice the cucumbers into a large bowl, salt them well and let them stand for 30 min. Pour away the liquid that forms. Sprinkle them with vinegar, a little pepper, sugar and dill. Dress them with sour cream just before serving. For a more heart-healthy recipe, omit salting the cucumbers; and substitute well-drained plain nonfat yogurt for the sour cream.
