Poppy Seed Dressing – Sally’S 1 I24

Poppy Seed Dressing - Sally's 1 I24 recipe image
This classic Poppy Seed Dressing strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tangy, creating a creamy emulsion that clings beautifully to greens. The base of sugar and cider vinegar provides a bright acidity, while dry mustard and onion powder add subtle savory depth. As you slowly whisk in the salad oil, the mixture thickens into a luxurious sauce, finished with a generous sprinkle of poppy seeds for texture. This versatile dressing is a staple for green salads, but it also shines when drizzled over fruit salads or avocado slices. Simple to whip up with pantry staples, it offers a homemade quality that bottled versions simply cannot match.
