This fabulous recipe comes from a girl I do catering with. It is her signature salad dressing and is requested all the time. Enjoy this with a summer salad of lettuce, cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes and some nice garlic croutons! Delicious

This is perfectly lovely. I know it's going to become a standby at our house. I actually didn't have poppy seeds the first time I made it, so I substituted sesame seeds and it turned out quite nice. We had it over spring greens, roasted beets and gorgonzola. Having it again tonight!

And with resulted in other similar recipes, I decided I wanted to create something unique a great base recipe and easy to modify depending on your tastes.. It may be a stretch to call my creation, but the result was a meal the whole family will liked. MY was Not better, not worse, just different! I've will added this to my recipe book "AS IS" and with my additions TOO. I have two way to do it!! THANK YOU!! I can do the happy food dance!! NOW !! 7 Stars NO! Sugar pea is right, Twenty Stars!, I think yours is better. BY FAR

I really like this dressing, but I found it more than sweet enough with half the sugar. I will make it again.

Very good dressing. I halved the recipe, using one clove of garlic. I used Splenda instead of sugar, so I had no problems with the sugar dissolving. I served this over a salad of crisp iceberg lettuse and shredded carrots.

Outstanding dressing. My family gave it 5 stars all the way. Served my enchilada recipe #94490 along with a tossed salad of greens, grape tomatoes, carrots, black olives, croutons and pine nuts. I made half a batch that fit my container perfectly. I know this will be a regular with my salad from now on. Thanks for a great recipe.
