Lemon-Poppy Seed Dressing

In time for Easter.

 This is a nice, lemony, slightly sweet dressing
 that is perfect for a Spring salad.

 Make a simple salad with chopped romaine lettuce.

 It's nice topped with croutons 

(homemade would be best)

and thinly sliced red onions if you wish.

 Assembled ingredients.

 Juice from 1/2 lemon for 2T and 1t grated zest. 

 Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper.

 Whisk it until creamy and add the poppy seeds.

I used 1 romaine heart, chopped to make about 4C.

Wash and spin chopped romaine to make

sure it's dry so the dressing will cling.

Toss the romaine with the dressing

until well coated. Taste to see if it needs

more salt and pepper.

Add croutons and thinly sliced red onion.
