This creamy dressing balances honey's sweetness with the sharp bite of Dijon mustard and a splash of vinegar for tang. Poppy seeds add subtle texture and visual appeal, making it a natural match for crisp green salads, fruit salads, or as a drizzle over roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon warm water, if needed to thin

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

  2. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.

  3. Stir in the poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed.

  4. If the dressing is thicker than desired, whisk in warm water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches the consistency you like.

  5. Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
