Dressing it up: citrus and poppy seeds salad dressing

 For March’s Daring Cooks’ Challenge, Ruth, Shelley and Sawsan asked us to totally veg out! We made salads and dressings, letting the sky be the limit as we created new flavors and combinations that reflect our own unique tastes.

Daring Cooks time, my monthly international challenge. This month the challenge was to make a delicious, homemade dressing. I always make my own dressings and vinaigrettes, but between what were well-known dressings for me, an unfamiliar popped up with unique ingredients. Ingredients that I wouldn’t come up in my mind when I think of a dressing, for example poppy seeds.
