It was tasty and different. Everyone thought it rated being tried again. I did not have the fresh tarragon and that might have made a difference. The dried just doesn’t have the same flavor. Good when cantaloupes and cucumbers are in season. I used fresh cucumbers from the plant I raised in a pot. We got a fair number of cucumbers from it this year.
