Chop the herring, cucumber, and onion. Mix with the remaining ingredients and let it sit in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. You may need to thin the sauce, which is thick due to the sour cream, with a splash of milk. The mixture should have the consistency of yogurt. Just one more night’s sleep and then enjoy with fresh boiled potatoes. Any extras like apples, etc., are a matter of taste and should only be tried the second time. The original is pure and without any frills.
