This dressing was okay. Personally for us the oil was over powering and if made again we would use less. Perhaps we will try putting it in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend better,like the review below mentioned. Thanks!

Nice simple dressing with a good acid/oil balance. I like dressings with mustard not only for the flavor it adds but also for the emulsion it provides. My tarragon is not very flavorful so I used fresh oregano and added a clove of crushed garlic. This gets tastier after refrigerating for a few hours for the flavors to mingle. Thanks for posting this quick, easy recipe!
