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.

PINK TARRAGON CREAM DRESSING



Pink Tarragon Cream Dressing image

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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, pressed
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
4 large eggs
2 heads butter lettuce, leaves removed
6 ounces Irish Cheddar, sliced
1 cup pickled sliced beets
1 cup pickled green beans
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

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.
