"One of my favorite 5 Ingredient recipes. Actually 2 ingredients for the salad; and, 3 for a simple creamy dressing. Let it set a good 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. And, make sure to use FRESH tarragon, it is really important to the dish. I use a mandolin for this recipe, but you can also thin slice by hand."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Dressing ... Mix the yogurt with the lemon juice, tarragon, and season with salt and pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you make the salad.

Tips
- A Mandolin is great to have for this, but NOT necessary. Just makes it easier is all.
