Poppy Seed Dressing

Mildly sweet, a little puckery, and lightly creamy with a gentle texture, poppy seed dressing riffs on the classic combo of your favorite lemon poppy seed desserts and turns it into something savory. Aside from jazzing up your salad greens, it can go on anything like roasted vegetables and baked salmon or served as a dip for butter pecan chicken bites or crudités.

The best part is it’s a breeze to whip up. Grab some fresh lemon and orange, wash them well, then reserve some of their fragrant zest before juicing them. The puckery brightness of fresh citrus juice always trumps pre-packaged versions!

This recipe yields about 1 cup of dressing, which can be doubled if you’re serving a crowd or halved if you don’t want leftovers. If you do have any remaining, be sure to keep it refrigerated in a clean jar, where it can be kept up to 2 weeks.
