▢ 1 ½ tablespoon fresh tarragon chopped
▢ 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
▢ 1 clove garlic minced
▢ 1 teaspoon agave or honey
▢ Salt and pepper to taste

1 avocado, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 ½ tablespoon fresh tarragon, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 clove garlic, 1 teaspoon agave or honey, Salt and pepper to taste
Check consistency, if you prefer a thinner dressing, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Notes

Use a ripe avocado for the creamiest texture—if it feels firm, it’s not ready.
Prefer a pourable dressing? Thin it slowly with water or extra lime juice.
Want some heat? Toss in jalapeño, chipotle, or hot sauce to spice things up.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and use within 1–2 days for best flavor.
Tarragon gives this dressing its unique flavor, but cilantro, parsley, or mint all work great too.
