Steps:
- Three days before, combine the vinegars with the herb mixture in a jar. Seal and let infuse in the refrigerator for three days.
- Strain the herbs from the vinegar and pour the vinegar into a saucepan. Place over high heat and reduce by half. Fill another saucepan with 1/4 inch of peanut oil. Heat the oil to 170 degrees, then add the shallots. Remove from the heat and cool. Strain. Place the vinegar in a bowl, then gradually whisk in the shallot oil and then the olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the lettuces and the chervil and tarragon. Sprinkle with about 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss gently and thoroughly, until all of the leaves are thinly coated. Add a little more dressing if necessary, but the delicate leaves should not be weighed down with it. Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve.
