-
With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the canola oil and olive oil in a steady stream to create a thick emulsion.

Fold in the crème fraîche gently until just combined, taking care not to break the emulsion.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed, then transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container.

Note
Storage: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. The flavors will meld and intensify overnight.
Substitutions: If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the crème fraîche with a thick Greek yogurt or a cashew cream. For a lighter option, reduce the amount of oil.
Tip: If the dressing separates, simply blend it again briefly. If it is too thick, thin it out with a teaspoon of warm water or additional lemon juice.
Ingredient Note: The ingredient list mentions "fresh" without specifying the herb; tarragon is a common pairing in this style of dressing and has been included in the instructions. If you intended parsley or cilantro, substitute accordingly.
