Homemade dressing can make a world of a difference for a salad. This fresh poppyseed dressing is perfect for summer, with loads of bright flavor from lemon juice and zest.

1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons minced sweet onion
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup salad oil
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Combine the sugar, salt, mustard, lemon peel, onion, and lemon juice in a blender. Cover and process a few seconds to combine the ingredients. With the blender running on a low speed, slowly pour the oil through the feed hole in the lid in a steady stream. Continue to blend until the ingredients are incorporated and the dressing is thick.
Transfer the dressing to a jar. Stir in the poppy seeds. Use immediately or cover and store the poppy seed dressing in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
