Our Story

My grandmother, Mathilde Ibsen Jensen, was a Goodwill Ambassador for Denmark, cooking for Danish dignitaries and sailors arriving in New York during the 1900’s. She was affectionately known as the “Mother of the Danes”. When her son John married my mother Bette, Mathilde shared her beloved Danish recipes with my mother who passed down her recipes and love of cooking to her 4 children–including this Sweet Tarragon Dressing. I loved it and served this dressing to customers at my restaurants.

Now, 60 years later, I want to share this family treasure with you!

We hope you enjoy Bette’s Gourmet Sweet Tarragon Dressing with your family as much as we do!

Our Dressing

Bette’s Gourmet Sweet Tarragon Dressing

Bette’s Gourmet Sweet Tarragon Dressing is a tangy and sweet dressing that is perfect for salads, or consider it as a marinade.  Made with fresh tarragon, this dressing adds a burst of flavor to any dish.  It pairs well with greens, roasted vegetables, grilled meats and seafood.  The recipe has been passed down through generations of the Jensen family and has become a beloved family treasure.  We hope that you will enjoy this dressing as much as our family has and that it will become a favorite in your home too.

Recipes

Try our delicious light dressing with mixed greens, thinly sliced onions, local tomatoes, avocado, mandarin oranges, and dried fruit such as cranberries.  We suggest tossing Bette’s dressing as opposed to pouring it on your salad.

Try your salad topped with grilled or blackened chicken, shrimp, salmon or sliced steak.
