Tips:

  • Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a better flavor and texture than pre-ground poppy seeds. You can find them in the spice section of most grocery stores.
  • Grind the poppy seeds finely: This will help them to release their full flavor and create a smooth dressing.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of sugar or honey can help to balance out the tartness of the vinegar and lemon juice.
  • Season to taste: Once you've combined all of the ingredients, taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, sugar, or lemon juice.
