Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this Poppy Seed dressing recipe up to 3 days ahead. You can serve this immediately, but more flavors will come out with time. In addition, let it sit at room temperature before serving it.
- How to Store: Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days. This will not freeze.
- Substitute the honey for sugar, maple syrup, or agave if desired.
- Feel free to use any oil, but I recommend a neutral-flavored oil. You can also blend oils together.
- Make this recipe in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment for the ultimate emulsified dressing.
- Emulsify is just a fancy culinary term to combine two things that generally wouldn’t go together, like, oil and vinegar.
