Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 ml grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed)
- 15 ml honey
- 5 ml Dijon mustard
- 15 ml apple cider vinegar
- 80 ml olive oil
- 8 g poppy seeds
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing. This will create a smooth and creamy texture.
Add the poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and whisk again until the dressing is evenly seasoned.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, by adding more salt, pepper, or honey for sweetness.
Transfer the dressing to a small jar or container with a lid. Shake well before serving.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow the dressing to come to room temperature and shake again before using if the ingredients have separated.
