Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar (or champagne vinegar)

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 small shallot

  • 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

  • 1-2 teaspoons mayonnaise, optional for a creamier dressing

  • 1/2 cup olive oil, grapeseed oil, or a mix.

Instructions

  • Combine sugar and white wine vinegar in a bowl. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Peel the shallot, grate and add to the bowl.
  • Add poppy seeds, salt, ground mustard and mix.
  • Beat dressing, pour in olive or grape oil.
  • Add mayonnaise if desired. Stir the dressing every time before serving.

Notes

  • You can beat shallot in a blender until mashed.
  • You can spread on ground mustard through a strainer so that lumps do not form. If the lumps still appear, beat the dressing with a whisk or crush the lumps with a spoon on the wall of the bowl.
  • Optionally add mayonnaise for a creamier texture. Without mayonnaise, the dressing will be more transparent.
