Poppyseed Dressing & Reception Salad

My mother-in-law makes this FABULOUS and easy salad for our receptions and weddings she helps with. It's so easy and good. I wanted to make it for a Relief Society salad social but didn't have poppyseed dressing. I found this recipe on my favorite: Our Best Bites...they never fail me. :) It's tangy and delicious just the way we like it. :)

Poppy Seed Dressing
Recipe from Our Best Bites
1/3 c. white vinegar
1 tsp. Kosher salt
A few turns of freshly ground black pepper
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. mustard
1 green onion, ends removed (both the “hairy” end and where the green part starts to get floppy)
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. poppy seeds

In a blender, combine vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and mustard. While the blender is running, add the green onion. Continue running the blender and add the oil in a steady stream and is fully incorporated into the dressing.

Pour the dressing into a serving or storage container and whisk in poppy seeds. Serve over leafy greens.

Reception Salad:

1-2 Romaine lettuce chopped (or spinach)

1/3 cup Craisins

1/4 cup Sliced Sugared Almonds

1/3 cup crumbled Feta Cheese

Poppyseed Dressing

Toss together and serve. Delish!
