Poppyseed Dressing

As a rule, I dislike all store-bought dressings. But my cousin, Laura, (who is in this group) introduced me to Brianna’s Poppy Seed Dressing early last summer. We were making green & grain bowls and when she pulled a bottle of dressing out of the fridge I thought, “What on earth is she doing?!” But after one bite, I thought “Ohhhhhh this is perfect.” And I’ve been buying it ever since. But why buy it if you can make it? So we developed our own.
