Poppy Seed Dressings

Update: Whoops! The second recipe is actually a yummy Sweet and Sour Dressing. I've added the real Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing below. Sorry!

After posting about my ranch dressing here, a friend asked about the poppy seed dressing.

I actually have two that I use -- one a vinaigrette and the other creamy. I use the vinaigrette most often, but mostly because I don't always have the ingredients on hand to make the creamier dressing.

Here's both. Enjoy!

Poppy Seed Dressing

1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1 tbsp. grated onion
1/3 cup vinegar
1 cup salad oil
1 tbsp. poppy seed
red food coloring (optional -- I leave this out)

Throw everything in a bowl and whisk together. Or, mix ingredients in a blender. Makes close to 2 cups.
