Why You'll Love Greens w/ Tarragon Vinaigrette

It's not your average vinaigrette-this one's loaded with tarragon, perfectly balanced with acid, fat, and a touch of honey. Light enough for everyday, bold enough to impress.

Tips and Tricks

• Use cold olive oil for a thicker, creamier emulsion.
• Add a splash of water to loosen the vinaigrette without thinning the flavor.

Variations

• Swap tarragon for basil, parsley, or chervil.
• Stir in minced shallots for extra bite.

Substitutions

• No Dijon? Use whole grain mustard or stone ground.
• Use agave or maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.

Best served with

• Grilled fish, roasted chicken, or as a sharp contrast to rich dishes like mac and cheese.
• Pairs well with a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.

How to Store Leftovers

• Keep vinaigrette in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake or whisk before using.
