Heavenly Tarragon Salad Dressing

A bright, herb-packed vinaigrette inspired by my friend Sunny’s go-to — it’s become a staple in my fridge.

Ingredients

• 1 large shallot

• 3 tablespoons sherry or red wine vinegar

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• ½ tablespoon honey

• ¼ cup chopped tarragon and chives

• ½ to ¾ cup olive oil

• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Soften the Shallot
   Mince the shallot and place it in a jar with the vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften.

2. Add the Flavorings
   Mince the herbs. Add mustard, honey, tarragon, chives, salt, and pepper to the jar.

3. Shake to Combine
   Pour in the olive oil, secure the lid, and shake well until fully emulsified.

4. Taste and Adjust
   Adjust with more salt or honey as needed. Use less oil for a thicker dressing, more for a lighter one.

5. Serve or Store
   Use right away or store in the fridge. Works beautifully on greens or as a marinade.
