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.

Overall, I thought this dressing was just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I found this dressing to be a bit too runny. I would recommend adding a bit more cornstarch or flour to thicken it up.

This dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey next time.

I've tried many different tarragon dressings, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

I made this dressing last night and it was delicious! I used it on a simple green salad and it really elevated the flavors. The tarragon is a great addition and gives it a really nice herby flavor.

This dressing is amazing! I used it on a salad with grilled chicken, strawberries, and goat cheese, and it was perfect. The tarragon gives it a really unique flavor that I loved.
