Poppyseed Dressing is my all time favorite salad dressing. It is smooth, sweet, and tangy which makes it work well with both sweet and savory foods. I was so thrilled when I realized that I could make my own homemade poppyseed dressing in 5 minutes instead of purchasing a new bottle each week from the store. I’m not sure why it took me so long to actually make my own, but I enjoy it so much that I want to share my poppyseed dressing recipe with you ASAP!

I use this homemade salad dressing on side salads, summer strawberry & chicken salads, and in my fall pasta salad.

Making this homemade poppyseed dressing is incredibly simple! Seven ingredients, five minutes, and three easy steps are all that it takes to have a sweet, creamy, and tangy topping for your salads.

Sweet & Tangy Poppyseed Dressing Ingredients:

1/4 cup Mayo
2 TBSP White Sugar or local Honey
1 1/2 tsp Spicy Mustard
2 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 TBSP Poppyseeds
1/2 tsp Salt

Sweet & Tangy Poppyseed Dressing Directions:

STEP 1. Gather All Ingredients and Supplies

Make sure that you have all of the ingredients out and ready to go before you start. Go ahead and grab a medium mixing bowl and a whisk as well. Laying everything out keeps you from running back and forth to the pantry/fridge during the prep time and it allows you to know if you are missing anything before you get started.

STEP 2. Mix Everything Together

Combine all of the ingredients into your medium mixing bowl. Whisk them together until they are well combined and the dressing is smooth and creamy.

STEP 3. Enjoy!

Seriously… This recipe is that simple! Now you can top a Summer Strawberry Salad, a Sweet & Savory Fall Pasta Salad, or a fruit bowl with your completed homemade poppyseed dressing and enjoy!

*Serve this dressing chilled or room temp.

*If you have some poppyseed dressing leftover, you can store it in a mason jar or other food storage container for about a week.

*This recipe makes enough dressing for one family-sized pasta salad or two-three side salad portions.
