*** Poppy Seed Salad Dressings - Two kinds

By CheeseDiva

This dressing was served over fresh spinach salad with Mandarin oranges and sliced mushrooms for “Rendezvous at Ralston”, a fundraiser for the grammar school. One woman liked it so much, she drank the dressing all by itself! My Mom’s is also awesome -- see below. Serve with Goat Cheese and Pear Salad.
