Poppy Seed Dressing

Poppy Seed Dressing
from the kitchen of Hannah Reed

1/4 cup sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water
1 cup canola oil
2 Tbsp brown mustard or dijon
1 tsp minced onion flakes
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1 Tbsp poppy seeds (I never measure this, I just add them until I like what I see)

Mix together and refrigerate. I recommend putting the dressing in something with a lid so you can shake it to mix it- stirring it doesn't seem to do the job. Also, I think it tastes better if you make it at least a day in advance so the flavors can mix.


***I had this dressing today! It's to die for amazing!***
