Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The tarragon vinaigrette divides opinions — some loved the tangy, complex flavours, while others found the tarragon overpowering and the dressing too vinegar-forward.
  • Ease of prep: There are several components to manage at once, but reviewers generally found the steps straightforward once underway.
  • Suggestions: Use less tarragon if you prefer a milder dressing, and consider adding extra honey or Dijon to let those flavours come through more clearly. Some reviewers suggested a pinch of chili flakes to add depth to the overall dish.
  • Leftovers: Reviewers noted the dish holds up well as a next-day lunch, making it a practical choice for meal prep.
