Simple Tarragon Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe
In my hometown, there is a French cafe with the most delicious tarragon vinaigrette dressing. An elegant glass bottle sits atop each table, waiting to drizzle the fresh salad greens that are served alongside their quiche Lorraine and savory crepes. It. Is. AWESOME. So, being on the literal opposite-most side of the country from this cafe, I had to try to make my own! I was not disappointed. Fresh tarragon is balanced by a bit of parsley, a little kick of dijon, and bright, sunny lemon. Put it on everything!!

I have had tarragon dressing similar to this at a local French bistro. With its licorice undertones, tarragon is a tricky herb as it’s so powerful. So glad to have this so I can enjoy a green salad at home and skip the bistro💕
I totally agree, it is such a tricky herb to use! I hope you enjoy this dressing as much as the local bistro’s!
