Preparation
Step 1
1. To make the dressing, whisk together the sour cream and mayonnaise in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Whisk in the buttermilk, vinegar, sugar, mustard, scallions, herbs, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use. (The dressing will keep, covered, for 1-2 days in the refrigerator.)
2. If the cucumbers are fat, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. If the skin is unwaxed, score the cucumbers with the tines of a fork for a decorative effect; if waxed, peelthe skin. Cut the cucumbers into moderately thin slices and arrange on an attractive plate.
3. spoon the dressing over the cucumbers.
