Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring or shaking continuously, until the pine nuts are golden brown and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool while you chop the herbs.
Add the tarragon, chives, parsley and pine nuts to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 20-30 seconds, until the herbs and nuts are minced. Add the garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt and pulse 10-15 more seconds, until all ingredients are incorporated.
Flip the food processor to continuous and add the olive oil through the feed tube. Process until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt and cracked black pepper if desired.
