This version of the classic French mix substitutes baby dill for French tarragon and garlic chives for regular chives. The fresh flavors really sing in this deliciously light dressing (which would also taste great with grilled salmon). Ingredient tip: Chervil, a feathery-looking herb, has a light, subtle licorice taste.
