Prepare the Cream Sauce

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and white pepper.
Whisk vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Prepare the Herring and Add-ins

Drain the pickled herring thoroughly from its wine sauce, patting it gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Cut the herring fillets into bite-sized, 1-inch pieces.
Finely dice the sweet onion and the cored Granny Smith apple into small, uniform pieces (about 1/4-inch).

Combine All Ingredients

Add the herring pieces, diced onion, diced apple, and chopped fresh dill to the bowl with the cream sauce.
Using a spatula, gently fold all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Be careful not to break up the herring pieces.

Chill to Meld Flavors

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, before serving. This chilling time is essential for the flavors to meld and deepen.

Serve

Give the chilled herring salad a gentle stir before serving.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra fresh dill.
Serve cold with dark rye bread, pumpernickel bread, or sturdy crackers.
