Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth and well-combined.
Add the poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and whisk again until evenly distributed.
While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help emulsify the dressing and create a creamy texture.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if desired by adding more honey, salt, or pepper.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Shake or stir the dressing before serving. Drizzle over salads, use as a dipping sauce, or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
