I absolutely loved it! I substituted apple cider vinegar for white vinegar, which added a delicious flavor and is also great for digestion. I used olive oil for the salad dressing, making it extra yummy.

Wonderful dressing for a salad featuring strawberries. I opted for a blend of half rice vinegar and half white vinegar to balance out the acidity, and reduced the amount of sugar by half.

Very simple to prepare using ingredients commonly found in your kitchen. Following the advice of multiple reviews, I opted for a mixture of half red wine vinegar and half cider vinegar, as well as reducing the oil by half. Like many individuals, I prefer homemade salad dressings as they contain zero chemicals or preservatives. The resulting dressing is flavorful and much more economical than store-bought versions. I enjoyed mine over a green salad topped with diced chicken thigh.

I absolutely adore this dressing! It's incredibly simple to make. I've received numerous compliments on my spinach salads made with spinach, strawberries, apples (or any other fruits), and toasted sliced almonds. This salad has become my favorite go-to option for potlucks. Although, I do swap the red wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar.

This recipe is ideal for a refreshing summer salad featuring strawberries, blueberries, candied pecans, and goat cheese on a bed of mixed greens. I replaced dry mustard with dijon, and the result is equally delicious.

Excellent with a mix of spinach, boiled eggs, mandarin oranges, craisins, pecans, and feta cheese. Grating onions turned out to be more challenging than expected. March 1, 2022.

Wouldn't change a thing! Absolutely delicious! By spending only 60 cents, I crossed off 4 items from my grocery list. Soooooo good!

I absolutely adore this recipe! I made a small adjustment by reducing the amount of vinegar, but it turned out fantastic for preparing green apple coleslaw. It's so simple - just mix julienned green apples and poppyseed dressing with a bag of coleslaw mix. Just delicious!
