We had a friend on Facebook that requested a yummy poppy seed salad dressing like they used to make at her work. So, we played around and this is what we came up with. We served the poppy seed salad dressing on a bed of Romaine and red leaf lettuce with tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and cabbage. I hope we captured what you were looking for Ms.Wilma, and I hope all of you try it out. It is a good dressing that is sweet and a little tangy. Mr. Cottage said he loved it and Grandma Cottage has been eating it every day. We thinned it out a little the 2nd day by adding the extra water to it. But it is up to you. This is great on a salad but would also taste wonderful as a dip for fresh veggies like carrots, green onions, broccoli, and celery.
Enjoy everyone! I hope that you like it!!!
