Ingredients

  • 1 cup good-quality mayonnaise (such as Duke's or Hellmann's)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar or honey
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup half and half
  • 2-4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (to taste)
  • 1-2 tablespoons poppy seeds (depending on how textured you want the dressing)

Instructions

  • Whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth. Or, place all of the ingredients into a lidded mason jar and shake until fully combined.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour for the flavors to meld. Taste the dressing; it should be sweet-tangy. Stir in additional apple cider vinegar only if needed. (The quantity will depend on the brands of mayo and Dijon mustard you used and your personal preferences. I typically use 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the ingredient brands used in my kitchen.)
  • To store the dressing, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Makes about 1-1/2 cups of dressing.
