Recipe View 1 mins Pulse the blender a few times until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the dressing. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can affect the texture. (1 minute)

For a more intense tarragon flavor, let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. If you prefer a tangier dressing, reduce the sugar by a teaspoon or two.
If you don't have xanthan gum, you can omit it, but the dressing might not be as thick. Alternatively, you can use a cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water), added to the blender during the final blending stage.
This dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
