Ingredients
- 1 shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh French Tarragon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon or brown deli mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
Method
- Combine shallot, oil, vinegar, honey, French Tarragon, mustard, salt and pepper in a blender, mini prep or jar with an immersion blender. Puree until smooth.
