Mixed Salad Greens with Horseradish Tarragon Vinaigrette

Horseradish originated in Germany and was called meerrettich (sea radish) due to its seaside location.  It’s thought that the English pronunciation was mare radish, which later became horseradish.  Though horseradish has nothing to do with horses, it gives this vinaigrette a lot of muscle.  For more on the history of horseradish, go to horseradish.org.
