Tips and variations for making this Poppy Seed Dressing Recipe

● Do not eat poppy seeds if you are getting a drug test.
● You can double or triple this recipe for more servings.
● Next time, you might want to switch this up with raspberry vinegar or red wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. Other infused vinegar dressings such as pomegranate, apple cider vinegar, champagne vinegar, balsamic vinegar, etc. Match the vinegar to the salad or fruits you plan on eating this with! Remember though that changing any ingredients leads to a different taste and/or texture. Keep that in mind whenever you make recipe substitutions.
● Use decent vinegar and olive oil to make this dressing. That will go a long way towards eliminating a harsh taste.
● You can substitute light olive oil for the olive oil in this recipe.
● If you do not have olive oil at home, vegetable oil might be substituted in a pinch.
● You might want to try substituting regular mustard for dry mustard. That way, you can change up how tangy the poppy seed dressing is by using yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, etc.
● You can use more sugar if you like.
● I have not tried it, but substituting Splenda, stevia, honey, or agave for the sugar might be something to try.
● If you do not have a cruet to store this in, try a Mason jar, or any airtight container.
● If you prefer, substitute kosher salt for the table salt listed in this recipe.
● There is no reason to haul out the food processor for this recipe.
