Poppy Seed Dressing

Method

This sweet, mustardy salad dressing is from JBF member Marcia M. Kelly's book Heavenly Feasts, a collection of recipes from monasteries and retreat centers she visited in the United States. Drizzle over a spinach salad topped with smoky, grilled chicken or toss with simple mixed greens.

• 1 1/2 cups olive oil
• 2/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 4 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 2 tablespoons minced onion or shallot
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon salt

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. Process on low speed for 30 seconds.

Cover and chill. Stir well before serving.
