Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the light mayonnaise, fresh parsley, fresh tarragon (if using), chopped chives, green onions, anchovy paste, anchovies (if using), white vinegar (or tarragon wine vinegar), lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, creating a rich, green, herb-infused dressing.

Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dressing to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. The chilling process allows the flavors to meld together and the dressing to thicken slightly, resulting in a more cohesive and robust taste.
