Jackson Edwards
Great recipe. I had some fresh herb: basil, parsley, and cilantro in place of tarragon. I reduced the olive oil to cut calories and used a little white wine to help thin the sauce. Really flavorful
Denise Mccarty
Very healthy also!

Love it, I make it frequently and my husband and I enjoy it with a variety of foods! It’s easy to make and the herbs make it; it’s delicious!
Breanna Murray
Loved it!

Wow… super easy and delicious. Great side for any meats and would make a great potluck dish too.
Ronald Matthews
Yum! I made this with Arborio rice so it turned out super creamy. Unfortunately, I did not have tarragon or parsley on hand, and so omitted them. The dish was still very, very good served alongside some spicy shrimp. The creamy coolness (I made this first and threw it in the fridge while I grilled the shrimp) was a great complement to the heat of the shrimp. Delicious!

Very yummy. And before criticisms try reading the recipe. Says to serve warm or chill. So chill with the reviews.
