Peel the cucumbers. Split the cucumbers in half. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Thinly slice the cucumbers and place in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Cover and chill at least a half hour. Line a mixing bowl with cheesecloth and pour the cucumbers into to it. Squeeze lightly to extract most of the liquid. Put the cucumber slices into another bowl and sprinkle with cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the vinegar and oil and toss. Put in a serving dish and sprinkle with dill or parsley.{$7e}(Original recipe for 6)
