Honey–Poppy Seed Salad Dressing Recipe

By Christine Gallary

Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: Under 5 mins | Makes: About 1 cup

A classic poppy seed dressing is a nice change from the standard vinaigrette, and this easy version is a snap to make: Just mix cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and oil until a tangy-sweet dressing forms. It’s great tossed in coleslaw, or try it with chicken fingers for a new twist on honey-mustard dipping sauce.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the vinegar, honey, mustard, poppy seeds, and salt in a large, nonreactive bowl, season with pepper, and whisk to combine. While whisking constantly, slowly add the oil until all of it is incorporated. If not serving immediately, refrigerate the dressing in a container with a tightfitting lid for up to 2 weeks.
