Poppy seed dressing from Desperation Entertaining!: Company's Coming: How to Make a Marvelous Meal in a Matter of Minutes by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross

  • honey
  • distilled vinegar
    "Distilled vinegar, also known as virgin vinegar, can be made from just about any vinegar – for instance: rice, malt, wine, fruit, balsamic, apple cider, kiwifruit, rice, coconut, palm, cane, raisin, date, beer, honey, kombucha, and much more. As its name suggests, this vinegar is distilled from ethanol. ‘Distilled’ plainly means that the liquid component is separated from the base mixture. This produces a colorless solution with 5-8% acetic acid in the water – relatively weaker than white or spirit vinegar." http://www.differencebetween.net/object/comparisons-of-food-items/difference-between-white-and-distilled-vinegar/

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    My husband suggested Spinach Salad for dinner and I decided we needed a homemade poppy seed dressing to top it. Normally, I use a mayonnaise based dressing that I got from my mother-in-law, but it's really much too sweet. A trip to the coop got me some poppy seeds and a quick search with EatYourBooks found this recipe for me. I was surprised that there weren't more recipes for poppy seed dressing in my numerous cookbooks. The other recipes I found used raw egg which I wasn't too keen on. This dressing comes together nicely in a blender and is sweetened by honey rather than sugar and flavored with onion powder and dry mustard. It's got a bit of a kick and is rather sweet - just like poppy seed dressing should be.
