    2                    burpless English long  cucumbers -- or more
                         regular cucumbers -- seeds removed
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
    3      tablespoons   sour cream
      1/2                lemon -- juice only
                         freshly ground black pepper
      1/4  teaspoon      tabasco sauce -- or to taste
 
 Peel the cucumbers. Slice them lengthwise down the middle. With a small
 spoon, scrape out the seeds. Slice the halves crosswise, paper thin. Place
 in a bowl, add the salt, stir briefly, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
 
 Whisk the sour cream, lemon juice, pepper, and Tabasco together.
 
 Take up the now limp cucumbers by the handful and squeeze as hard as
 possible to rid them of their water. Stir the cucumbers into the dressing
 and serve.
