Poppy Seed Dressing
Brighten up your salads with a homemade poppy seed dressing that’s tangy, sweet, and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's or Duke's
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1½ tablespoons minced shallots, from 1 shallot
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, vinegar, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. While whisking vigorously, slowly pour in the oil to create an emulsion; the dressing should be slightly thickened and emulsified when all the oil is added. If you see pools of oil forming on the top while you're adding it, stop for a moment and whisk to emulsify before continuing. Mix in the shallots and poppy seeds. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: The dressing can be stored for up to a week in the refrigerator. Shake to re-emulsify when ready to use.
