Tarragon in Later Summer Dishes

As summer comes to a close, my herb garden on the deck facing the lake morphs into everything I shall miss when the season ends. Tarragon, I discovered today, is wonderful in salads. I didn't even tear the leaves up so when a leaf is included in the mouthful the flavor and aroma stands out, pure gustatory sensation flooding the tongue and mouth.
 
Cauliflower is also underrated but its texture is priceless especially when simply stewed with fresh tomatoes and herbs and a few drops of extra virgin olive oil.
