Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips:
  • I recommend buying a covered mason jar or two for making homemade salad dressing. They make mixing, shaking, and storing homemade dressings a snap.
  • This salad dressing will keep, in the refrigerator, for up to one week.
  • Not a fan of mayo? No problem! Omit the mayonnaise and this is still a delicious poppy seed vinaigrette salad dressing.
