There are few salads that I like. However, the poppyseed fruit and chicken salad at Portillo’s is one I love. I’ve tried poppyseed dressing at other places and have bought different brands. They just aren’t as good. I found a couple of recipes online that I’ve tried. The first one I tried used a grated shallot. I grated a pretty small one, but the result tasted way too much like onions, so that one didn’t work at all. This one though sounded better. Though since I had just had the failure with the shallot, I left the onion powder out of it. I also left out the lemon juice because I didn’t have any. The result though was great! So, since this is my repository of all things I want to save, here is the recipe I followed:

1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp poppy seeds
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Mixed everything except the vegetable oil with my handheld blender, then added the oil. That’s it!
