Ingredients You’ll Need
This easy dressing recipe requires just a few simple ingredients you probably already have at home in your pantry or fridge! Here’s what you’ll need:
- olive oil – I like to use a good olive oil that doesn’t have to be expensive, just make sure it’s cold-pressed and organic for the most flavor (in my opinion).
- white wine vinegar – this adds a nice tangy flavor that goes perfect with the olive oil and lemon juice. You could also use apple cider vinegar or champagne vinegar.
- lemon – I just love the bright, fresh flavor the added lemon brings to this dressing. Feel free to add a little bit of the zest too for even more lemon flavor!
- dijon mustard – this adds a little zip and helps to emulsify the dressing.
- honey – just a little goes a long way and adds a touch of sweetness, you could also use maple syrup to make this vegan.
- fresh tarragon – I prefer using fresh tarragon in this dressing, but feel free to use 2 teaspoons dried if that’s all you have on hand.
- salt + pepper
How to Make Lemon Tarragon Dressing
I love making homemade dressings and vinaigrettes because they are just SO easy and take less than 5 minutes to mix together. Simply whisk together all the ingredients in a jar or bowl, or you can use a blender or NutriBullet and blend until smooth. If you do use a blender, make sure to mix in the tarragon in after blending. Then simply store the dressing in a sealed airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to use. This dressing will last up to 5 days in the fridge, but definitely tastes best as fresh as possible.
I personally like to store my dressings in mason jars because they have a nice tight seal, they are easy to take on-the-go, and you can just add all your ingredients and give the jar a good shake!
