Homemade Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

Since I no longer have a job outside the home (my choice), it is time to "tighten the belt" on our spending.  Which means I have to scale down my spending on groceries.  So I am going to try to make as much of our food needs at home as possible such as bread, noodles, etc.

Everyday for lunch, I almost always have a salad.  Salad dressings, though not horribly expensive, do add up.  And I am not sure a lot of them are that healthy - if you look at some of the ingredients on the labels makes you wonder what exactly are you putting on your salads!!!

So off to the Internet I went in search of the "perfect" salad dressing.  My adventure started at the "Kitchen McCabe" website where she claims that she has the "BEST" homemade Poppy Seed recipe.  Now you know that is a challenge to me, so I had to give the recipe a try.  It is a very easy recipe that you can whip up in a matter of minutes (probably doesn't require a run to the grocery store!).

Is this the "BEST" homemade poppy seed dressing??  The jury is still out on this one.  It is good, but I not sure it is the best.  My husband thought it was good, but felt it could be a tad bit more sweeter - so off I go to the Internet in search of the "perfect" poppy seed salad dressing - stay tuned!!
