Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing




I am really getting into making my own salad dressing.  I am constantly amazed at how uncomplicated they are.
My 4yr old after his bite of his Strawberry, Pear, Arugula & Spinach salad he looked at me and said "Mommy what kind of dressing is this?"  I replied Poppy Seed.  He said with eyes wide opened and a big smile "I LOVE Poppy Seed dressing!".  Of course he did it was sweet.


Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing

1/4cp Plain Yogurt (I used lowfat)
1/4cp Sour Cream
1/4cp of Mayo
3tbs Sugar (add another if you want it sweeter)
2 tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
2tbs Poppy Seeds

Whisk all of the ingredients above and refridgerate.

  1. This sounds great! I always look at poppy seed dressing in the store and then never buy it. I'd love to make some of my own!
