We recommend that you try our recipe for the first time just as it is written for the best results because that is how the recipe has been tested.

However, the next time you make it, you might consider one of these different ways of making this great recipe.

For a slightly sweeter dressing, whisk in 1 tablespoon of honey or agave syrup.
Substitute olive oil for vegetable oil but be aware that it has a stronger flavor. A milder oil such as canola or soybean oil will allow the orange and poppy seed flavors to shine through more.
Add a small shallot or minced fresh garlic clove for a more savory flavor.

This salad dressing would taste delicious on any number of salads, but my personal choices would be this Strawberry Fruit Salad or my Mandarin Orange Salad with Chicken.
