Make this easy and tangy salad dressing by mixing together crème fraîche, lemon zest, lemon juice, and tarragon. You’ll have a creamy dressing that goes well with chunky, substantial salads or makes a great dip for things like carrot chips.

Game plan: The dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead, covered, and stored in the refrigerator.
