Poppy Seed Dressing

Poppy Seed Dressing

 

I realized after going through all my blog posts, that I had not actually posted a blog about this dressing.  It’s a simple one to make for yourself or a pitch-in.  I happened to make this one recently for a pitch-in, and it was well-received, with people asking for the recipe.  If you have a thing against poppy seeds, you could leave them out and the dressing would still be good.  (Sometimes I wonder what the big deal is about poppy seeds is… I guess it gives some texture and color to things… I am not sure if I would notice a taste difference without them.)

½ White Onion, (or a small one)

¼ C White Vinegar

2 Tbs Sugar or Artificial Sweetener (like Splenda)

½ Tsp Salt

2 Tsp Dijon Mustard

½ C Salad Oil (Canola is good)

½ Tbs Poppy Seeds

Mix this all up in a food processor or blender.  Serve with greens, celery, cucumber, green onions, something sweet (mandarin oranges, strawberries, cranberries etc) and something crunchy (nuts, croutons, sunflower seeds etc)
