Peel (if desired) and slice cucumbers. Place in a bowl and add kosher salt and rice wine vinegar. Let stand for 30 minutes and drain. Cucumbers should be crisp. Slice the onion into thin rings and add to the cucumbers. In a separate dish combine, sour cream, olive oil, lemon juice, dill kosher salt and pepper. Pour over cucumbers and combine. Refrigerate until supper.
