Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
- 0.333 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Honey

Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the fresh tarragon leaves. Measure out 2 tablespoons, finely chop, and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the olive oil, plain Greek yogurt, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic clove, honey, salt, black pepper, and chopped tarragon leaves.
Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-45 seconds.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Shake or stir the dressing well before serving. Drizzle over your favorite salads, vegetables, or proteins and enjoy!
