Directions

Prep the greens

Wash the sorrel, arugula, tarragon, chives, green onion tops, and parsley. Dry them well so the sauce stays creamy, not watery.

Mix the base

In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and minced garlic.

Add herbs and blend if you like

Fold in the chopped greens and dried tarragon. For a smoother texture, pulse in a blender or food processor in short bursts; stop before it turns runny.

Adjust the texture

If it feels too thick, loosen with 1–2 teaspoons of water or a splash more lemon juice. Taste and balance the tang to your liking.

Chill, then serve

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours so the flavors meld. Give it a quick stir and serve with sandwiches, grilled chicken or fish, or potatoes.
