Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 c white vinegar
3/4 c sugar
2 Tbsp very finely chopped sweet onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground mustard
1 1/4 c canola oil
2 Tbsp poppy seeds

  • Use fresh poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds have a more intense flavor and will provide a better texture to your dressing.
  • Toast your poppy seeds: Toasting your poppy seeds will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Use a good quality oil: The oil you use in your dressing will greatly affect the flavor, so choose a high-quality oil that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Use a variety of vinegars: Different vinegars can provide different flavor profiles to your dressing, so experiment with different types to find one that you like.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or sugar to taste.
