I did have regular cucmbers so I used pickles. I also didn't have sour cream so I used white gravy because it was similar in color. I have no idea what tarragon vinegar so I just used apple cider vinegar and added hamburger seasoning for an herb taste. Honey was a great subistitue for sugar. 10 out of 10 would make again.

Served this with pulled pork sammies. perfect fit. I used the miniature cucumbers and greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. I did find it needed a bit of salt. :)

Made this as a side dish today for dinner and it was really good. I love cucumbers and this was a great way to serve them!

Made this with regular vinegar, didn't have any tarragon or parsley, so I used a couple tsp fresh dill. Needed to use up a sweet salad onion, so I used that instead of the chives. The sauce is superb...not to thin, and just enough sweetness. I did add a little salt to taste.

Very good! I used plain yogurt rather than sour cream, regular vinegar and dried chives along with the rest of the ingredients.
