For a creamier texture, use full-fat sour cream. Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to suit your taste preferences. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar can be used as a substitute. Fresh dill can be used in place of dried dill. Use approximately 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, finely chopped.

Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld. (Time: 1-4 hours)
