Ingredients
- ½ cup Mayonnaise I use regular, but you could use light if you prefer.

- 4 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Poppyseeds
- ½ teaspoon Ground Mustard
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt

- Drizzle dressing as desired just before serving or serve on the side and allow guests to add their own.
Notes
Serve: The beauty of homemade poppyseed dressing is you can adjust it a little for lots of things. Serve over a salad and pair with Chicken salad on a Croissant, panninis, Chicken Meatball Soup, or Chicken and Wild Rice Soup for a healthy lunch or yummy dinner. You can also use it as a marinade for grilled chicken – I leave out the milk when I do this.
Storage: The salad dressing will be good in a sealed container for up to 1 week, or 3 weeks if you skip the milk ingredient. Refrigerate after opening and shake well before serving. I like to store it in a mason jar with a lid.
Make Ahead Tips: If you want to get a head start on your prep for this recipe, make some extra chicken the night before and pack up your fruits together. That way you can grab everything you need from the fridge and whip up this salad!
