Homemade salad dressing is the only kind for me.  Vinaigrettes are my standard, but sometimes I fancy a sweet variation. I have whipped up many winning poppyseed salad dressings that are superb, but sometimes I am too hungry to mess with chopping, pressing or squeezing ingredients to get the fork in my mouth full of salad. If you’re impatient and want your salad now, you might want to try this super quick fix.

Quick Poppyseed Salad Dressing

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon poppyseeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Combine all the ingredients in a jar or a salad dressing bottle with the lid on and shake vigorously. Pour over your favorite salad ingredients.
