Raspberry Poppy Seed Dressing

OK, OK, OK,   it is a fat day for me.  I have been at a food show all day.  So I have been eating all day.  Well, the thought of food just does not sit well with me.  There was some really great  food.  Oh to keep the weight off, I guess it will not happen till I can get my will power back or get away from the food..    How about a great salad dressing to go with a salad.  This is a great yum!  If  I was hungry tonight it would be a salad. I think tomorrow.  Salad here i come!  I cut back the oil in all salad dressing recipes.  I cut the oil down to 1/2 c. and add more raspberries  to make up for the 1/2 c. of oil i take out. 

 

Raspberry Poppy Seed Dressing

"I simply love this creamy, fresh-tasting dressing! It’s so quick to assemble and adds a summery gourmet touch when drizzled over a salad. I often serve it with lettuce or fresh spinach tossed with sliced strawberries and sugared almonds," suggests Kendra Stoller in Kouts, Indiana.
