    Homemade Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

    Updated: Jul 21, 2023 by Veronica Noone · This post may contain affiliate links ·

    After reposting The Red, White, and Blue Sweet Summer Salad folks immediately asked for my homemade poppy seed dressing, so I decided to whip up a batch for a quick photo.

    A few years ago, I stopped using store-bought dressings. Nothing really against them, I just like the taste and flexibility of fresh better. I make what I need when I need it with whatever I happen to have on hand.

    I've made variations of this dressing for a few dressed salads over the years on holidays. It's a super versatile recipe, and my guests always compliment me on it.

    Servings 14 tablespoons
    Calories 45 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • ¼ cup lemon juice
    • 2 tablespoon honey 42g
    • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Whisk all ingredients together.
      ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    • This is best fresh with freshly squeezed lemon juice so I would make when needed. However, it will store for a few weeks in the fridge. 
    • The recipe as written makes just about 15 tablespoons which I'm counting as 14 servings just to be safe on the nutritional info. I'd rather overestimate the macros.
    • If you don't have honey, maple syrup works! 
    • If you don't have dijon mustard yellow mustard or mustard seed powder works great too. 
    • This recipe can easily be halved it makes too much for you. 
    • I save glass jars to reuse for homemade dressings. I'm not sure where this one came from but it's really similar to these.
