2 Tbsp Tarragon Vinegar, 2 Tbsp Fresh Tarragon, 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, 2 Tbsp Fresh Chives, 3 Tbsp Scallions (Green Onions), 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Mix all of the ingredients together in a sealable container. For salt, start with 1/4 tsp, and for pepper, start with 1/8 tsp. You can taste again for salt and pepper before serving.
1 C Mayonnaise, 1 C Sour Cream, 2 Anchovy Fillets, Salt and Pepper to Taste
Chill the dressing at least one hour before serving (the more time, the merrier). Taste again for salt and pepper. Note: this dressing is not the vivid green you see in the bottled stuff. They use food dye. Feel free to add a drop or two of green food coloring if you really want a green dressing. Your secret is safe with me.
