If emulsion gets too thick and does not get sucked into processor blades, thin out with a few drops of water and continue with oil. When all oil has been incporporated, add tarragon, chervil, worcestershire, hot sauce, and water. Process until herbs are finely chopped.

  2. Transfer dressing to a large bowl. Add yogurt (or sour cream), and chives. Whisk to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, adding more worcestershire, hot sauce, or lemon juice as desired. Dressing should be highly seasoned. Serve immediately with vegetables for dipping, or store in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
