Tarragon Vinaigrette
makes 3/4 cup
Tarragon's subtle, licoricey flavor takes a basic vinaigrette from simple to elegant. Be sure to add the tarragon just before serving the vinaigrette; too much time in acid will turn the leaves dark.
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallots
2 tablespoons whole tarragon leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
prep: 5 minutes
total: 15 minutes
bowl
whisk
1. Combine the lemon juice, vinegar, shallots and a light sprinkling of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set that aside and let the shallots marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Add the tarragon leaves to the vinegar and shallot mixture. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking as you go, until the dressing is emulsified.
3. Add more of any of the ingredients to taste.
