Method
Trim and clean all vegetables. Cut carrots into sticks about 1-1/2 inches (4 cm) long and 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick. Cut beans into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) lengths. Break cauliflower into bitesize florets. Cut celery and peppers into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) lengths.
In large pot of boiling water, cook carrots just until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Plunge into cold water; drain in colander and dry on paper towels. Cook and cool beans and cauliflower similarly. In large salad bowl, combine cooked vegetables, celery and peppers.
Dressing: In large bowl, whisk together egg yolk, vinegar and mustard. Gradually whisk in oil until creamy, adding more oil for a thinner dressing. Stir in onions, parsley, tarragon, salt and pepper. Pour enough dressing over vegetables to coat well, reserving any excess for another salad.
Before serving, toss well; taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
