    This Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing is the perfect salad dressing! It's a little sweet, a little tangy, and goes great with most salads. Best of all it is completely free from any added sugar!

    I am usually a ride or die ranch dressing kinda girl. But in the spring and summer,  I enjoy a light salad and that calls for a lighter dressing. This Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing fits the bill perfectly!

    I love making my own dressings. Not only are they SUPER easy, but you can also customize them to suit your taste preferences.

    Poppy Seed dressing has been a long time favorite of mine during the spring and summer months, but store-bought varieties have TONS of sugar, which is something that I try to avoid.

    I decided to whip up my own and it turned out so great that I had to share!

    What you'll need for this homemade sugar-free poppyseed dressing:

    White Vinegar is pretty standard, but you can also try different kinds of vinegar to change up the taste. Some of my favorites are apple cider vinegar and red wine vinegar.

    Dry Ground Mustard or prepared yellow mustard. You can also try some dijon mustard if you prefer.

    Onion Powder or finely minced onion.

    Avocado Oil or extra light olive oil. In fact, just about any mild-flavored oil would work fine.

    Poppyseeds

    Sugar Substitute of your choice. I love to use Lakanto monk fruit blend as I find that it doesn't have the cooling effect that plain erythritol does, and there is no aftertaste.

    Right now you can get 10% off of all Lakanto products with the code "THISMOMSMENU" when you order from the Lakanto Website!

    Tips for making the best homemade dressing:

    Typically this dressing is made in a blender or using a whisk and a bowl but I actually love to make homemade dressings in a shaker cup. The same kind that you can use to mix protein shakes.

    Not only do they make quick and easy work of dressing, but you can store the leftover dressing right in the bottle so you don't have to dirty a ton of dishes.

    This dressing will separate as it sits, but you can just shake it up right before serving and it will come together again nicely.

    Store leftover dressing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

    This dressing goes perfectly with my Red, White, and Blue Summer Salad!

      Sorry you didn't like it. If you find it is too thin you can add a bit more mayo.

      Is your nutritional content incorrect? Not only does this dressing have zero net carbs, it appears to have no fat content, or any nutritional value at all? Everything is zero. I'm confused...

      Do you think that I could use the Trim Healthy Mama Stevia in this. as it would only be a pinch. Does the sweetener provide necessary volume?

        Hi Rebecca! I haven't tried that brand of stevia, but I am pretty sure that it would work fine. The sweetener does thicken the dressing so it will be slightly funnier, but the flavor shouldn't be impacted much at all. Hope that helps 🙂

      I used 1 Tbsp maple syrup instead of the artificial sweetener and it was delicious and sweet enough! Delicious recipe

      Recipe looks good!
      Looking forward to trying this and curious about the nutrition. I put all the ingredients into my nutrition app and I’m coming up with 140 calories per serving. The avocado oil alone is about 2k calories.

      Am I missing something?

      I am diabetic and was delighted to find a Poppy Seed Dressing with only 21 calories. I added the ingredients to a Recipe Nutrition Calculator and found that to be incorrect., The avocado oil alone is 2080 calories /14 = 148 calories. The total is 154 calories per serving. Please correct this so others do not err on their diet.

      I am interested in making this but wonder what ingredient provides the creaminess? There doesn't appear to be any mayo in the recipe...Thanks!

      This recipe is delicious! Your nutrition info is very wrong, I used My Fitness Pal and it's not 1 carb. It's 146 calories, 7 grams of carbs, 16 grams of fat (I used olive oil) per 2tbsp serving. You should change this. Otherwise, it's the exact dressing I've been craving!! Thank you so much!

      I see your comments mention mayo, but the recipe doesn't include mayo. Can you please update or share mayo measurements so I can start with your recipe before attempting to adjust. Thank you!
