I made this dressing last night as suggested and let it sit out all night. Took the dressing with salad of red leaf and iceberg lettuce, sliced white mushrooms, cubed imitation crab leg, thinly shredded parmesan cheese and dressing, all chilled in work fridge til lunch time.
The poppy dressing is superb! Easy quick recipe.
Thank you
