Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing Recipe
This lemon poppy seed dressing recipe is bright, subtly sweet, and incredibly simple to make. With salad and grilling season in full swing, it’s quickly becoming a staple in our kitchen—a little taste of summer in every bite.
Ingredients
- 180 ml oil see below
- Juice of 2 medium lemons
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in an empty 320 ml (or larger) jam jar (or mason jar). Either stir with a teaspoon or fork, or screw on the lid tightly and shake the jar until the dressing is mixed together. I usually start the process off with a spoon and finish by shaking the jar.
- You can also make this dressing in a jug or a bowl, using a spoon, fork or small whisk to stir it, but you should transfer it to an air tight container to store it.
- You will need to shake the jar before each use.
- This will make enough dressing for several meals.
Notes
Storage Suggestions:
I like to make this amount of dressing at once because I know it will keep well in the fridge and I will be able to use it for a couple of family sized meals. It should keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Some people prefer the taste of lemon juice when freshly pressed. If that is the case, I would recommend making just enough of this dressing for the salad you are preparing and use it immediately.
