Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing Recipe
This lemon poppy seed dressing is a versatile recipe. While I usually use it as a salad dressing, I've also drizzled it over roasted veggies and grain bowls, and it's wonderful served that way, too.The trick to making it creamy is to pour the oil in slowly while whisking constantly. It emulsifies the oil, making the dressing creamy without adding mayo or dairy.
