Poppy Seed Dressing with Pickled Red Onions

A large Polish pottery bowl of Spinach Poppy Seed Salad with wooden salad tongs inserted from the right.

 If this Poppy Seed Dressing with Pickled Red Onions looks familiar to you, it’s because I recently posted it with this Spinach Poppy Seed Salad Recipe. I decided it needed its own spotlighted place because not enough people were going to see it buried inside another recipe. And you better believe this little beauty deserves your attention. So good! I just want to drink this stuff, and the flavor it gives the pickled onions is just perfection!

  • Make the dressing several hours in advance of serving, so the red onion slices have time to marinate.
  • The marinated onions are best if consumed within 3 days, but the dressing can stay good in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
