Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small saucepan, combine water, cider vinegar, sugar, olive oil, cornstarch, salt, onion powder, mustard powder, and poppy seeds. (Prep time: ~2 minutes)

02

Step

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. (Cook time: ~3 minutes)

03

Step

Continue cooking and whisking until the dressing thickens slightly, about 30 seconds. (Cook time: ~30 seconds)

04

Step

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before serving. The dressing will thicken further as it cools. (Cooling time: ~15-20 minutes)

For a tangier dressing, try using apple cider vinegar.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add an extra half teaspoon of sugar or a drizzle of honey.
Store the cooled dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before using.

    This is my new go-to salad dressing recipe. It's so easy to make and much healthier than store-bought.

    I added a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick, and it was perfect!
