If it's a cooked dish, you'd add a little minced tarragon near the end of cooking. If it's a raw dish, like a salad dressing, the tarragon would be raw, too. One of my favorite things to do with tarragon is to make a vinaigrette with chopped shallots, white wine vinegar, good quality olive oil, and a little tarragon (maybe about a half teaspoon per tablespoon of oil). It's good on green salads or steamed veggies, or even drizzled on steamed or baked chicken or fish. It’s more of an than a vegetable, so it depends on the dish you are making.

It sounds like an herb Dumbledore might use. He might say something like, "Sprinkle some more dracunculus on my bat gizzards, Minerva." I like the term Artemisia dracunculus better than tarragon.

Having omega 3's in a herb simply can't be bad. This sounds pretty good, does any other herb have omega 3’s in it. Having omega 3’s in a herb simply can’t be bad.
