Green Beans with Creamy Tarragon Dipping Sauce

Whipping anise-scented tarragon and pleasantly tart crème fraîche until airy and light elevates this take on a crudités-and-dip platter. Cook the green beans until just tender, so their summer-fresh flavor is retained and they are firm enough to dip in the savory sauce.
