Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing | gfe--gluten ...

I certainly know that everyone I introduce to this dressing loves it. After all, it has a tangy, sweet and sour vibe going for it, plus Brianna’s poppy seed dressing is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, and soy free. The ingredients are: canola oil, sugar, water, white onions, white vinegar, salt, apple cider vinegar, poppy seeds, mustard flour, xanthan gum, tocopherols (natural antioxidant — vitamin E), and citric acid challenge, which also included dressings, making poppy seed dressing was once again on my mind. There are many recipes online for poppy seed dressing, but most are super vinegary with lots of oil. Those don’t come close to Brianna’s Poppy Seed Dressing and really are not what I’m after. Last night at our support group meeting, with the help of member friends, we made a terrific green salad. I hadn’t had time to stop by the grocery store and pick up Brianna’s dressing. One can only stock up so much as my grocery store rarely puts out more than four bottles at a time. (They should have it occupying the space of several dressings as it sells like proverbial hot cakes.

This dressing is slightly different in taste and texture from Brianna’s Poppy Seed dressing, but again, it’s very good.

Everything was excellent and made suitable fare before our presentation and baking demo by Brooke Parkhurst of Triple Oak Bakery , an exclusively gluten-free bakery located in Sperryville, Virginia. Brooke brought some free samples and other treats for members to buy (chocolate chip cookies, pecan brownies, and lemon poppy seed cake), but eating her blueberry scones warm out of the oven seemed like pure indulgence and

Oooh, this looks fantastic. I used to love Brianna’s but had to give it up (I suspect it was the white vinegar as I noticed I felt far less heartburn when I gave up white vinegar, which is in most condiments) – anyways, I am going to put poppy seeds on my shopping list and make this soon. It sounds divine!
