Poppy Seed Dressing

1/3 cup white vinegar ( I also like it with red wine vinegar.)

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. sea salt

Dash of pepper or few turns of pepper grinder

1 tsp. dry mustard

1/2 tsp. dried minced onion

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp. poppy seeds

In a blender, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, dry mustard, and onion. Blend well until sugar is dissolved. Continue blending and slowly add the oils in a steady stream until they are incorporated into the dressing. (This is called emulsifying and will keep the dressing from separating.)

Pour the dressing into a storage container and whisk in poppy seeds.

Notes:

Any salad oil you have will work. Can use fresh onion which would make it only better. Some recipes call for green onion and others used minced red onion. Can use table salt instead of sea salt.

Serve it on a mix of spring greens and spinach leaves topped with strawberries, mandarin oranges, and sugared walnuts. Enjoy!
