How to store this salad dressing:
You can store the salad dressing in a glass dressing bottle or just use a mason jar. You probably already have several in your cabinet.
If not, you can order one of these pint size mason jars and keep it in the fridge. I like this set because it comes with different sizes and labels.
This is perfect so that you can label the dressing and if you plan to make anything else. The smaller size is perfect to pop into meals you might be taking to others. We love to take a meal to new moms or someone recovering from surgery.
Mason jars are so versatile and easy to use. They are inexpensive and I love that they keep spills at bay.

I haven’t tried that yet but I think it would work great in this recipe!
Panera does not have honey in their poppyseed dressing according to the label. Instead it says orange juice concentrate. Can that we used instead of the honey?
I haven’t tried that yet but I think that it would work great.
Can you substitute milk with a dairy free option??
Sandy – This recipe makes 8 serving and 1 serving is approximately 1 Tbsp of the dressing. Thank you!
How many servings does this make?
How much is considered a serving?
