I made up this dressing that I found somewhere else....and it was great too...so you can try it with the balsamic vinaigrette one time and try this another time! 2 TBSP lemon juice 2 TBSP olive oil 1 tsp. minced fresh tarragon OR 1/4 tsp. dried tarragon 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard 1/4 tsp. black pepper dash of salt Combine all ingredients and mix well. |
