It's also a fantastic base for creamy sauces or a simple dip for roasted vegetables and meats.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard yellow mustard, tarragon mustard offers a more complex flavor profile due to the addition of tarragon. The herb introduces a delicate sweetness and a hint of licorice, which complements the mustard's inherent pungency. It is less about heat and more about aromatic depth.
