Why This Recipe Works

Our Tarragon-Mustard Mayonnaise recipe comes together quickly and can be used as a sauce for fish or chicken, a spread for sandwiches, or a cooling dip for our sweet potato fries. Refrigerating our flavored mayonnaise for at least 30 minutes allowed the flavors to blend and develop. Dijon mustard's bite paired well with fresh tarragon and intensified the overall flavor.
