Once we discovered just how easy it is to make our own salad dressings at home, we hardly ever buy a store-bought dressing any more. Typically, we already have the ingredients at home and they come together in less than 10 minutes! Our southwest dressing and blue cheese dressing are just a few examples of the other amazing homemade salad dressings you can make in your very own kitchen. This perfectly sweet poppyseed dressing is no exception. It is the perfect topping for all of your fresh summer salads! You have to try it!
