  • 1 cup of Neutral oil (Safflower, Canola or grapeseed)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons of poppy seeds

  1. In a high-speed blender, combine all the maple syrup, mustard, salt, vinegar, onion, and garlic confit. Process for 30 seconds.

Notes:

This recipe is inspired by Helen Corbitt’s poppy seed dressing, which was first popularized at the Nieman Marcus Zodiac Room in the 1970s. Toss this dressing with salads, especially a spinach salad, and drizzle over fresh fruit salads, like a watermelon and feta salad. May also be used as a marinade for chicken.
