Green goddess dressing

They’re probably at least 10,000 green goddess dressing recipes already online. This is the way I make mine, and of course I think it’s the most delicious.

You can vary which herbs you use, and whether you use red onion, white onion, green onion, or shallots. But you absolutely, positively must include tarragon in this preparation. Personally, I think tarragon is the most underrepresented herb in the American culinary catalog. If you don’t have tarragon on hand, you will still end up with a delicious result, but it won’t be the real deal.
