This poppy seed dressing recipe has a delicious balance of sweet and tangy ingredients. Honey adds sweetness, while Dijon mustard and white wine vinegar give it a bold, tangy kick. It's easy to make in under 10 minutes—whip up a batch to add bright flavor to salads, slaws, and more!
In a medium bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, shallot, honey, poppy seeds, mustard, salt, and mayo, if using.
Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking and continue to whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Alternatively, combine everything in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to combine.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
