Tarragon

Tarragon is traditionally a French herb, used in many dishes throughout the centuries. Tarragon has an aniseed type flavour with citrus notes – it adds beautiful flavours to this vegan French salad dressing recipe.

This recipe uses dried tarragon, however fresh tarragon chopped finely would work equally as well. It is important to bear in mind however that dried tarragon has a more intense flavour.

A lot of the vegan oil free dressings call for nuts in place of the olive oil. Although this is not an oil free vegan dressing, it does use a high quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil also known as liquid gold! Also makes this nut free French dressing it completely safe for those with nut allergies.

Traditionally, the French vinaigrette dressing is placed at the bottom of the salad bowl, with the leaves tossed through gently, as the vegan french dressing can be quite heavy for the delicate salad leaves.

I love mopping the leftover easy French dressing up with a crusty bit of bread.
