We loved it!!! I used this on a Strawberry, spinach, goat cheese and almond salad and it was awesome! The sweetness really complimented the strawberries and spinach and the dressing was enjoyed by both myself and my kids. I will be using this to make my own whenever we have this salad!

While sweeter than my normal dressing selections, I found this excellent and will be making it again. Thank you Roger for sharing your recipe!

I used all honey rather than sugar/honey and all olive oil rather than salad/olive oils.I don't recommend you do that and I'm not reviewing the recipe for that reason. Using so much honey made the dressing itself the thickness of honey-way too thick and sticky.

This is truly excellent, Chef Roger! I tried it on two different dishes this week: 1 was a simple greens salad with chopped boiled egg whites and the other was a chilled cooked broccoli side dish. I can't wait to think of other ways to use it. Bravo!

Totally, absolutely sensational!! I have a similar dressing recipe that's been a long-time favorite, but this one puts it in the shade! I've made this twice now. The first time, I used a very special 'first press' olive oil, thinking it would be great. It wasn't. The very assertive qualities of the oil overwhelmed the dressing. Second time out, I corrected my mistake and used a much milder olive oil. Everyone at the table (there were 8 of us) said it was the best poppy seed dressing they'd ever tasted. Kudos, Roger -- and thanks so much for sharing this special recipe!!
