Equipment

Medium Bowl
Whisk

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
⅓ cup milk
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients until smooth and combined.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Notes

Store the salad dressing in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing the poppyseed dressing because the dairy becomes grainy after it thaws.

Variations

Dairy free dressing – Use your favorite dairy free milk instead of regular milk.
Egg free dressing – Instead of making the dressing with mayonnaise, slowly stream in olive oil while whisking the ingredients together. Vegan mayonnaise works well as a substitute, too.
Instead of mayonnaise – Make a lighter version of this dressing by swapping the mayo for Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Add tartness – By stirring finely diced or shredded shallots or red onion into the dressing.
