easy recipe to follow, and came together very quickly. I used olives I had brined myself, and they were lovely and crisp. Didn't have tarragon vinegar, and only half a cup of sour cream. AND I bought Salmon by mistake, still, it turned out brilliantly, and I enjoyed a serving last night with just a big slice of toasted turkish bread. was yum :)
