I think tarragon is one of those herbs that doesn’t get it’s due. It has a sweet, slightly licorice flavor, that is wonderful in a healthy creamy salad dressing.
I want to make salad dressings on the lighter side, so I used plain yogurt to give my dressing that creamy texture. I think the slightly tart flavor of plain yogurt worked well with my sweet tarragon. Give it a try for a nice alternative to the usual Ranch dressing.
My dressing topped a combination of salad ingredients that included spinach, arugula, carrots, radishes and celery. You know I can’t resist a colorful salad!
Happy cooking!
