- Directions
- Mix everything together until smooth and creamy. Chill for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors mingle.
- Serve with crackers, crisp vegetables, toasted baguette slices, or spread onto hot grilled corn while it's still steaming. It's also wonderful in grilled cheese sandwiches or spooned onto baked potatoes.
- And if you can't find Mexican Tarragon...no worries! Most grocery stores that carry fresh herbs have French Tarragon which is a perfect replacement! Enjoy!!
