Old Fashioned Poppy Seed or Coleslaw Dressing
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: about 1 cup 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice (fresh is best, bottled in a pinch; see note)
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (try white for poppy seed, apple cider for celery)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 cup light olive or canola oil
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon celery, poppy or caraway seeds
Instructions
Place the first five ingredients in a blender in the order listed. Pulse and blend until smooth. (May need to stop and stir up from bottom.)
Slowly, through the top of the blender, with the blender running, drizzle in the oil and blend until emulsified.
Stir seeds in by hand. Refrigerate. The mixture will become slightly thicker when chilled. Makes about a cup.
Note: if bottled lemon is used, check to see if it needs to be mixed with water to mimic the strength of an actual lemon; it may be concentrated.
