    | 1. Slice cucumbers very thinly, preferably using a mandolin. | 2. Take a colander, put in a small layer of cucumbers, then sprinkle with a small amount of the salt. | 3. Continue this method until all the salt and cucumbers are used up. | 4. Cover the cucumbers with a plate inside the colander, and put a very heavy weight on top. | 5. Make sure the colander is in a large bowl, because the cucumbers will lose alot of water. | 6. Let them sit for 1 hour. | 7. In the meantime, chop the dill and finely mince the garlic, put aside. | 8. After 1 hour, take a handful of cucumbers, and squeeze out as much juice as you can, and continue until they are all done. | 9. Rinse thoroughly with water, drain well. | 10. After the cucumbers are done, return to the colander, and weight down one more time for about 15 minutes. | 11. You do not have to squeeze out the juice again with your hands Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, except the paprika. | 12. After mixing thoroughly, put in a nice serving dish, and sprinkle with the paprika. | 13. Chill for at least 2 hours. | 14. Enjoy. | 15. Nutritional information shows a high amount of sodium, but the vast majority is pressed out by your hands. The main function of the kosher salt is to purge the moisture out of the cucumbers. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
