2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup fresh tarragon leaves
1 1/3 cups sour cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Garnish: 1/2-inch lengths of fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a food processor pulse together mayonnaise, tarragon, and 1/3 cup sour cream until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in remaining cup sour cream, chives, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Garnish dip with chives.

Tips:

  • For a creamier sauce, use sour cream or Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
