In a medium bowl, place the egg yolk, lemon juice, tarragon vinegar, and dijon mustard, whisk to combine.
Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to create a creamy, emulsified dressing, the consistency should be thick but pourable. Taste and add salt as needed. Fold in the finely chopped tarragon.
