Homemade Poppy Seed Dressing – A Lightened Up Version of My Grandmother’s Recipe

This past weekend we were getting together with friends, and I knew that I wanted to take something to share. So, you are probably going to think this is really weird, but I dreamt that I should take fruit and my Grandmother’s Poppy Seed Dressing. So, the next morning I got up and got out her little recipe book and looked at her recipe… wow, 2 cups of vegetable oil and 1 1/2 cups of sugar!!! So, I decided to lighten it up a bit. Now don’t get me wrong, her recipe is wonderful and a bit thicker than mine, but we have been trying to eat healthier, and I just couldn’t bring myself to make the full fat, full sugar version.

The original recipe also called for onion juice, which I do remember buying for this recipe in the past, but could not find this time, so I substituted onion powder. I also made some adjustments to some of the other amounts, and honestly it tastes just like I remember it even with all the differences!
