Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
Yield: 12 servings
A quick & easy lemon poppy seed dressing recipe with bright lemon flavor and a light, creamy consistency. It's versatile, fresh, and delicious!
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons finely minced yellow onion
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl or quart jar. Then use an immersion blender to blitz until smooth. You could also use a blender or food processor. (see Notes below for not blitzing)
Notes
Using an immersion blender, regular blender, or food processor will give you a smooth, thickened, and opaque dressing, as my photos show.
Alternatively, you can combine all the ingredients in a jar, seal tightly, and shake vigorously to combine. This will leave the dressing with small bits of lemon zest and onion, and the dressing will have a clearer look to it. The dressing will settle when stored and needs to be shaken and reincorporated before use.
This dressing is delicious served with fresh greens and berries or with my winter apple salad!
