When you make a recipe do you ever think to yourself “What? Those ingredients are used in this?” That’s what I thought when I was making this dressing. And yes, these ingredients are used, and they are spectacular together!

Have you figured it out yet?
My Poppyseed Dressing is without poppy seeds!
Turns out I didn’t have any poppy seeds, and the only container the grocery store had was like 16oz. and cost $6.50. All I needed was 1tsp folks, wasn’t going to spend that much money for 1tsp. Might as well buy the dressing for that price!
Believe it or not it was still good with out the little guys!
 I can’t wait to post the recipe for the Cinnamon Toasted Almonds tomorrow!

    I LOVE this! I think the best tasting dressings are always homemade and I’m always on the look out for new, easy ones. And, if I can make a poppysead dressing without any poppy seads even better. Thanks for sharing and happy new year!
