Delicious..even though I forgot the tarragon..best salad dressing ever. And that is saying something!! I've tried bottled and had Panara Bread salad dressing. Panara's is the best. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I will use it often.

Delicious - all that herbal goodness really came through. I did also add a soupcon of Dijon mustard as I love it in vinaigrettes. Served with a baby greens salad.
