Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons plain Greek yogurt or Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grapeseed oil

Instructions

  • In a small mason jar, combine the vinegar and sugar. Secure the lid and shake until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Peel the shallot and then, using a microplane or the smallest holes on a box grater, grate the shallot directly into the vinegar and sugar mixture. Then, add the poppy seeds, salt, mustard, and yogurt. Secure the lid and shake until thoroughly mixed.
  • Pour in the grapeseed oil (or other neutral flavored oil), then secure the lid and shake until well combined.

Notes

You can store this dressing in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. It will separate as it sits in the fridge, so be sure to shake or whisk well before serving.
