This is a pretty, pink colored creamy dressing. It is very rich and quite tasty. The recipe does not call for any salt or pepper - you may add a bit if you wish, but I didn't think it really needed it. I have tried this with dried tarragon and it was lovely - but if you have fresh, I think it is even better. Adapted from Best of the Best of Georgia. Supposedly from a restaurant called The Olde Pink House. If 3 cups is too much for you, the recipe can be successfully halved. I made only a 1 cup batch and that amount was plenty for about 6-8 guests to have on their dinner salads. This will have you wanting to lick the plate clean. Ingredients:
2 cups mayonnaise (must be full fat) |
1 cup sour cream |
1/2 cup sherry wine (not cooking sherry) |
1 tablespoon dried tarragon, finely crushed or 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce, to taste |
2 -3 drops red food coloring or 2 -3 drops beet juice |
milk, to thin dressing (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix mayo, sour cream, sherry, tarragon, garlic powder, and Tabasco until blended well.
2. Add a few drops of food coloring to tint it slightly pink.
3. If the dressing is too thick, you may thin it with a small amount of milk.
4. Chill well before serving.
