Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder.
  2. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the mustard is fully incorporated and the base is smooth.
  3. Stir in the capers, chopped fresh tarragon (or crushed dried tarragon), and chopped fresh parsley (or crushed dried parsley).
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, though the capers and mustard usually provide sufficient saltiness and zing.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled alongside shrimp, crab, duck, Brussels sprouts, jicama, or radishes.
