This is a superior recipe! It's easy to make, and the flavors are uniquely delicious. Loved the fact that it called for no oil in the recipe. We greatly enjoyed the crunch of the snow peas and green beans along with the crunch and zip of the radish. Tarragon was the perfect herb to use , and the 2 Tablespoons of honey was just the right amount of sweetness. This is a keeper recipe!
