Poppy seeds have more potential than being just a bagel topping and this poppy seed dressing is a tasty way to get a healthy daily dose of these nutrient-rich seeds. Poppies are actually a great way to get your fiber and other important nutrients like manganese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poppy seed dressing was popularized by Helen Corbitt, a Texas chef and cookbook author, during the 1950s. While it\u2019s great for light salads like butter lettuce or spring mixes, Corbitt actually used it for fruit salad, too. The recipe called for vegetable oil and cane sugar, however, we\u2019ve made adjustments to make a healthier version using olive oil and maple syrup.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients in this Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This healthy and homemade poppy seed dressing is basically an upgraded vinaigrette. We combined extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar but added dry mustard powder, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, white pepper, and, of course, poppy seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like to use dry mustard powder to adjust the tanginess and saltiness of the vinaigrette, which can come on strong when using liquid mustard. We chose white pepper to balance out the light tangy flavor of the white wine vinegar and dry mustard. If you don\u2019t have white pepper, you can use black pepper sparingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long can you keep poppy seed dressing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"poppy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We like to keep this poppy seed dressing in an airtight container like a mason jar and place it in the fridge for up to two weeks. Olive oil can solidify in the fridge when it\u2019s chilled, but it will return to a liquid state when it comes to room temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you want to use the dressing again, just leave it on the counter for about five minutes to turn liquid. The poppy dressing should be the same as the first time you made it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
