Delicious homemade creamy tarragon dressing, perfect for salads and as a sauce for poultry dishes
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup non-fat greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 shallot
- 1 garlic clove
- 4 tsp dried tarragon (or 4 tbsp fresh tarragon)
Instructions
- You can make this recipe with a high powered blender and a food processor, but today I’m using my KitchenAid Hand Blender with Chopping Attachment. This recipe makes 4 servings of dressing.
- In the Blender pitcher, combine 1 cup greek yogurt. 1 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise. 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, roughly 2 tsp honey, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground pepper. Use just the splash guard portion of the lid and put that on. Use the blending arm attachment to make this perfectly pureed.
- Use the chopper accessory for the other ingredients. First we unplug our motor before we change attachment pieces. Then remove the blending arm by twisting until it unlocks and pulling up. Set it safely to the side. Now we assemble our chopper accessory. Insert the Chopper blade into Chopper bowl. Let's add our ingredients into it. For best results, cut the food items into 3/4" pieces. So, we are adding 1 shallot, which I will cut in half. I clove of garlic, which should be fine. Now add either 4 tbsp fresh tarragon or 4 tsp of dried tarragon spice. We will be using 4 tsp of dried tarragon. Secure the lid by twisting to lock. Press the variable speed controller to start chopping. You will do this in several short bursts until you reach your desired consistency. When done, remove and unplug the motor body, set it safely to the side. Twist the lid in the opposite direction to unlock. Carefully remove the blade and set it safely to the side.
- Use a silicone spatula to remove all the contents of the chopper bowl and transfer them to the blender pitcher with our wet mix. Gently mix the wet and dry mix together by hand. Now your dressing is ready to add to dish of your choice. I will add it to a pear and goat cheese salad I prepared (a link to the salad recipe is available in the text above this recipe). Enjoy!
