Tarragon substitute

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
My mother arrives Friday, May 26. I had planned on a scallop & tarragon salad, only to discover my mother dislikes tarragon. Rather than change the whole menu, what herb would be a good substitute.

Why not basil? It is a fresh tasting herb that would compliment the scallops very well. You could also try dill.
Thanks,

Try chervil maybe. It has a very light, delicate flavor resmebling tarragon, but it is not overpowering. Or try sorrel maybe. It has a great tart lemony flavor to it. It is one of my favorite herbs to work with in the summer.
