Homemade salad dressing is so easy to make! Poppy seed salad dressing comes together quickly with mayo, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds.
I am a huge fan of making your own salad dressings. They are quick and easy to make plus homemade dressings taste better, are cheaper than store bought, and are so much healthier! One of the key ingredients in most homemade salad dressings is vinegar. I actually have a large variety of vinegars in my pantry, but one that I use most often is apple cider vinegar.
I usually have to head to Whole Foods or another specialty store to find raw apple cider vinegar so I was pleased to find that Heinz now has an unfiltered apple cider vinegar. Unfiltered apple cider vinegar retains the “mother” of the vinegar – a compound created naturally during vinegar’s fermentation process. Heinz Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar is raw and unpasteurized, which means it’s more natural. You can use raw apple cider vinegar for salads, marinades and recipes – pretty much anywhere you’d use apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is great for canning and pickling your summer garden produce.
When we make homemade salad dressing we generally use my homemade Italian salad dressing mix. A few years ago our oldest daughter asked for poppy seed dressing for her salad. I’d never had poppy seed dressing so I wasn’t sure if this would pass muster, but it instantly became a family favorite. We use the dressing on salads, to dip fruits, and even for chicken nuggets. I find it to be less harsh than an Italian.
