Preparation Instructions

Wash, pat dry and prepare salad fixings.

Salad dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated or can be used at room temperature right after preparing.

Mix sugar, mustard, salt and vineger with a whisk or in a blender or mixer. Gradually add oil while mixing, until dressing develops a creamy consistency. Add poppy seeds and blend till dispersed well.

This salad is also good with pieces of fried or grilled chicken, and we also make a meal of it by adding only lettuce to cubed ham, diced boiled eggs and cubes of cheddar cheese. It’s wonderful and the recipe is very versatile.

When refrigerating the dressing, it tends to separate. So re-blend before serving again. I would imagine this will hold up in the refrigerator nicely for several days, but I wouldn’t know. It’s usually gone with the first meal!

Enjoy!
