This Poppy Seed Dressing is deliciously sweet and is made with only 4 pantry staples! It is perfect to drizzle over your favorite salad. It’s much better than a store-bought dressing, and contains fewer ingredients. You will love this dressing for its taste and it’s easiness in making the recipe.

Why I like this Easy Salad Dressing
This easy dressing recipe goes so well with kale salad, spinach salad, or any green salad. It has the right amount of sweetness and just enough of the tangy flavor from the apple cider to perfectly compliment leafy greens. It’s whisked up with just four ingredients, so you really can’t go wrong with it.
How to make Poppy Seed Salad Dressing:
Combine the simple ingredients together in a bowl.
Whisk together well. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using (so the poppy seeds can moisten.)
Are Poppy Seeds Good for You?
Poppy seeds have a great number of benefits! Not only can they ease a dry cough, but they are also a rich source of folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and manganese. These small black seeds are also a great relief for anxiety.
How Long Does this Poppyseed Dressing last?
It can stand in a sealed container for 1-2 days in the refrigerator but considering it’s made with just four ingredients, it’s better to make when you are ready to use right away.
Health in Poppyseed Dressing:
If you are watching your sugar intake, you can still enjoy a low-sugar poppy seed dressing by adding less sugar, but I found that the apple cider vinegar balances the sugar amount in this recipe. However, you can also experiment with a natural sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup.
This absolutely delicious salad dressing perfectly with the superfood salad.
