  4. In a small bowl or measuring cup (2 cp.), mix the water, oil, cider vinegar, and sugar until dissolved. Add the sour cream, dash of pepper, and mix well.
  5. Taste for a balance of even sweetness and sour. If too tart, add a pinch of sugar and a dash of water. If too sweet, add a dash of vinegar and/or water.
  6. Now add fresh dill, chives, parsley, and lemon juice and mix well. Taste for right balance.
  7. Gently squeeze excess moisture from the cuke slices and tilt the bowl to drain the juices. Gently fold 2-3 times to mix.
  8. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onions, fold over, and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. Fold over again once or twice during the refrigeration or marinating process.
