The Best poppy seed salad dressing recipe
I have been making this poppy seed salad dressing for years and my family absolutely loves it. It is so simple to put together and it adds a wonderful flavor to any salad. My kids even ask for it on their lunch salads which is a huge win in my book. This dressing is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for a special gathering because it uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. It is also a healthier option because it uses yogurt and a little bit of honey instead of loads of heavy oil and sugar. You get a nice dose of calcium from the yogurt and the poppy seeds add a little crunch and some fiber too. It is a dressing you can feel good about serving.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Creamy Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

Yes you can use regular plain yogurt. The dressing will be a little thinner but it will still taste great. If you want it thicker you can strain the regular yogurt for a few hours in a cheesecloth.
2. How long does this dressing last in the fridge?
This dressing will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Just give it a good shake or stir before using it because the poppy seeds may settle at the bottom.
3. Can I make this dressing without honey?
Yes you can substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different flavor. You could also use a little bit of sugar dissolved in the milk but honey or maple syrup works best for a smooth texture.
4. What salads go best with poppy seed dressing?
This dressing is fantastic on a simple green salad with mixed greens, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries. It is also wonderful on a fruit salad with strawberries and blueberries or even as a dip for fresh veggies.
