- In a saucepan over high heat in 1 inch of water, heat green beans to boiling.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 5-10 minutes or until green beans are tender crisp; drain.
- In a bowl combine the mayonnaise, tarragon vinegar, salt, mustard and pepper; mix well.
- I like to put the green beans and sliced onions in a large zip-lock bag (less clean up) along with the tarragon dressing mixture, fumbling for dressing to coat green beans.
- If you don't have a large zip-lock bag you can place the green beans and sliced onions in a large dish and toss to coat with the tarragon dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours hours for flavors to blend before serving.
- Garnish with freshly topped tarragon.
- Serve and Enjoy!

Tips:
- To ensure the freshest salad, use salad greens that are crisp and free of wilting or bruising.
- Wash salad greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Dry the greens thoroughly with a salad spinner or clean kitchen towel.
- Chop or tear salad greens into bite-sized pieces. This will help the dressing evenly coat the greens.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of salad greens. Some popular options include romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale.
- To add texture to your salad, add some chopped nuts, seeds, or crumbled cheese.
- For a more substantial salad, add some grilled or roasted vegetables, beans, or lentils.
- When making the tarragon dressing, use fresh tarragon leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all the ingredients together and store it in a covered jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To serve the salad, toss the salad greens and other ingredients with the dressing. Serve immediately.
