Poppyseed Dressing

Poppyseed dressing – it’s my favourite. Without a doubt, it works well on a quick cabbage and corn salad, it’s great over avocados, tomatoes and cucumbers, and it’s delicious in summer and fall salads. It’s bright, light and I love the texture of the seeds and the little black dots contrasting the colours of the dish. Okay, let’s get shaking!

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup of olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of agave syrup
  • 1-2 tablespoons of poppyseeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, measure out all of your ingredients into a glass jar or dressing shaker. Shake until well mixed – taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the dressing is made, add to your favourite salad. Here I’ll share some of my latest which make use of this delicious and bright dressing. Asparagus and Raspberry Salad – this summer salad has the crunch of the asparagus complimented by the sweetness of summer berries. It’s light and tasty. Another is the strawberry and avocado salad below – with a bite from the red onions and toasted almonds, the poppyseed dressing balances out the flavours.
