TARRAGON SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

TARRAGON POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover them. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, just until tender when pierced with a small knife or skewer. Drain in a colander. Put a kitchen towel over the colander and allow the potatoes to steam for 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and slice 1/2 inch thick. Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl. Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper. While the potatoes are still warm, pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss well. Add the scallions, red onion, tarragon, and dill and toss gently. Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to develop. Sprinkle with salt and serve at room temperature.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH TARRAGON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Remove any loose fat from the cavity of the chicken. Place the chicken in a large pot and add the neck, carrots, celery, parsley, onion and a few tarragon leaves. Season with salt and pepper and bring to boil. Simmer for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. Cool. (Freeze the cooking liquid for recipes requiring chicken stock.)
• Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise. Beat the egg yolks until thick and sticky. Add the vinegar and mustard and mix thoroughly. A few drops at a time, add the olive and safflower oils, until the emulsion has thickened into a mayonnaise. Stir in the remaining tarragon leaves and season with salt and pepper.
• Skin the chicken and cut the flesh into fairly thick strips. Toss the chicken in the tarragon mayonnaise until everything is thoroughly mixed. Correct seasonings.
