Poppyseed Vinaigrette Dressing
by Jes Mostek
serves: 4
 
Ingredients:
  1 T.   mayo
  1 tsp.   dijon mustard
  1/4 c.   fresh squeezed orange juice
  1/4 c.   fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  1 clove   garlic (1 clove= 1/2 tsp. powder)
  1 tsp.   pepper
  1 tsp.   salt
  1/2 c.   olive oil
  1 T.   poppy seeds
Directions:
  In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, mustard, juices, garlic, salt, and pepper until all are well-combined and salt is dissolved.

While whisking briskly, slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream to emulsify the oil into the lemon juice mixture. After all the oil has been added, whisk in the poppy seeds.
