**Pink Tarragon Cream Dressing: A Versatile Condiment for Salads, Sandwiches, and More**
This creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet dressing is made with a blend of mayonnaise, sour cream, tarragon, chives, lemon juice, and a hint of paprika. It gets its beautiful pink color from the tarragon, which also gives it a distinctive, slightly anise-flavored taste. This versatile dressing can be used on salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and even as a dipping sauce for vegetables or crackers.
The recipe is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. If you like a more tangy dressing, you can add more lemon juice. If you want a sweeter dressing, you can add a little bit of honey or maple syrup. And if you want a spicier dressing, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
Here are some ideas for how to use this delicious dressing:
* **Salad Dressing:** This dressing is perfect for a variety of salads, from simple green salads to more complex salads with grilled chicken or fish.
* **Sandwich Spread:** Spread this dressing on your favorite sandwich bread and top with your favorite sandwich fillings, such as ham, turkey, cheese, or vegetables.
* **Wrap Dressing:** Use this dressing to make a delicious wrap with your favorite fillings, such as grilled chicken, vegetables, and cheese.
* **Burger Topping:** This dressing is a great topping for burgers, especially burgers made with grilled or roasted vegetables.

PINK TARRAGON CREAM DRESSING
This is a pretty, pink colored creamy dressing. It is very rich and quite tasty. The recipe does not call for any salt or pepper - you may add a bit if you wish, but I didn't think it really needed it. I have tried this with dried tarragon and it was lovely - but if you have fresh, I think it is even better. Adapted from "Best of the Best of Georgia." Supposedly from a restaurant called The Olde Pink House. If 3 cups is too much for you, the recipe can be successfully halved. I made only a 1 cup batch and that amount was plenty for about 6-8 guests to have on their dinner salads. This will have you wanting to lick the plate clean.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, capers, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, salt, pepper and garlic in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
- For the salad: Lay the prosciutto on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the edges are starting to brown and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly; the prosciutto slices will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Meanwhile, put the eggs in a small pot. Add water, covering the eggs by an inch or so. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, cover with the lid and let sit 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Peel and halve each egg, then set aside.
- To build the board, transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and place on a large board or platter. Add the butter lettuce in a pile, then arrange the eggs, crispy prosciutto, Irish Cheddar, beets, green beans, tomatoes and cucumbers on the open space of the board. Sprinkle the eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Serve.
