SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING
I like this salad because it isn't fruity like many spinach salads out there. My cousin always brings this to family dinners and everybody loves it, even the ones that don't like spinach! Be sure to make the dressing the night before! The original recipe called for 1 lb. of swiss cheese. I think that's a bit much and usually make it with 1/2 lb.

Steps:
- Note for Dressing: This makes a lot, I usually only use about half.
- Mix the dressing ingredients together and refrigerate overnight. Very important!
- Toss salad ingredients together and mix in dressing just before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh poppy seeds for the best flavor. You can find poppy seeds in the spice section of most grocery stores.
- Grind the poppy seeds before using them. This will help release their full flavor. You can grind poppy seeds in a coffee grinder, spice grinder, or with a mortar and pestle.
- Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as grapeseed oil or canola oil. This will allow the flavor of the poppy seeds to shine through.
- Add a little bit of acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to balance out the sweetness of the poppy seeds.
- Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
- Use the dressing on salads, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats.
Conclusion:
Poppy seed dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a new salad dressing, give poppy seed dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
