Tarragon Balsamic Salad Dressing
This tarragon balsamic salad dressing, made with fresh tarragon is ready to serve in 5 minutes.

About the Serving Size
Depending on the quantity of dressing used by each person, the servings in this recipe may vary.
The yield for this recipe is about a cup of dressing and there are 16 tablespoons in a cup.
So, if there are say 3 to 4 tablespoons per serving (for a dinner salad), this recipe would serve about 4.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
White balsamic vinegar, olive oil, fresh tarragon (or dried tarragon leaves*), salt, pepper, sugar, granulated garlic and water
*When using dried tarragon, extra time before serving is needed to release the tarragon flavor in the salad dressing
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
To a small bowl or Mason jar add white balsamic vinegar,
olive oil,
sugar,
granulated garlic,
salt, pepper, and water.
Next, the tarragon is added.
If you’re not able to find fresh tarragon no worries, the dried version works nicely too (the quantity of dried tarragon is less than fresh tarragon).
To the bowl, or Mason jar, add the tarragon.
If mixing this in a bowl, whisk together.
Or if using a Mason jar, shake all ingredients together.
Just before serving, whisk or shake the ingredients together.
TIP – If using dried tarragon, wait about 2-1/2 hours before serving because it will need extra time (when compared to fresh tarragon) for the flavor to be released in the salad dressing.
Serve over a salad topped with fish, a combination of seafood, or serve over your favorite salad.
Store leftover dressing in the refrigerator.
