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.


Sweet and Sour Dressing Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing

3/4 cup vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise (I use Miracle Whip/salad dressing)
2 tbsp. mustard
1/2 cup oil
1 tbsp. onion, minced

Mix together in a bowl or blender. Makes a quart.

2 tsp. poppy seed

  2. Thanks, Chelsey! Once you give the recipe a try, let me know what you think.

    Got any dressing recipes to share? I'm always looking out for new ones so we don't get bored eating the same ones over and over.
