Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing Recipe
Description
The dressing starts by whisking fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup for vegan), and sea salt together, then slowly incorporating olive oil while continuing to whisk. This slow addition emulsifies the oil into the acidic mixture, creating a creamy texture. Poppy seeds are then stirred in to provide a slight texture and visual interest. The balance of acidity from the lemon and mustard with the sweetness from honey yields a bright but mellow flavor profile.
Once prepared, the dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for at least a week, maintaining its texture and flavor. It should be shaken or stirred before use as separation may occur. This dressing pairs well with a variety of salad greens or as a drizzle over vegetables.
