There is a reason why my dad likes calling me a rabbit, I love vegetables and I especially love delicious green salads. One of my favorite combinations consists of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, candied walnuts, craisins, corn, feta cheese and homemade poppy seed salad dressing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. You absolutely have to try this dressing, I guarantee you are likely to fall in love with it. In fact, often times when I am asked to bring a salad to a party, they always request I bring this dressing along.
Poppy Seed Salad Dressing
small sliver of onion (a little less than 1/16th of a medium onion)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup white vinegar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
In a blender, puree the sliver of onion. Add sugar, salt, mustard and vinegar. Blend well. Pour oil slowly into the mixture and then blend thoroughly. Add poppy seeds. Blend once more. Refrigerate.

I have a friend who is swamped with work and life she rarely gets a chance to drop by and visit our blogging community. But she had a moment, found you and loves your recipe!

That sounds amazing.. I have another poppy seed salad dressing for a summer strawberry salad that is amazing. I will have to put it up one day.

I can personally attest to the yumminess of this dressing and the whole salad combination that Lucy suggests. Which reminds me…. Lucy, when are you and you family free to come over for dinner? You know what to bring.

i just recently aquired a salad dressing bottle thing with recipes on the side of it (with measuring lines too!) and i am going to have to try this one too. after living in France, ranch dressing just doesn’t do it for me much anymore. unless i’m eating baby carrots, then i do the ranch dipping.

This looks like a very pleasant change to the standard dressing I usually make. How would it work with lemon?
