This is the first recipe I knew I wanted to share way back when I first was thinking of starting this blog – over a year ago! It was born out of frustration with all the other “creamy poppyseed” dressing I had tasted – they were all either vinegar-y or citrus-y. This dressing brings a hint of sweetness instead, and real heavy cream to make it satisfying. There is plenty of poppyseed flavor, plus a bit of nutmeg to top everything off.
This salad and the creamy poppyseed pair beautifully, but be free to pour the dressing on whichever greens you have! It will be delicious, I’m sure.
- cream
- agave
- poppy seeds
- nutmeg
- spinach
- greens
- pistachios
- golden raisins
- brie
Simply place all the cream, agave, poppy seeds, and nutmeg in a small cup or pitcher, and stir! I recommend starting with half the agave, and then scaling up if you’d like. You don’t want to overpower your salad with a syrupy sweet dressing.
Arrange the greens in a shallow salad bowl – whichever varieties you’d like, but be sure to have some variation in color and texture to keep things interesting! Spinach is my favorite to use right now, but I’d love some new ideas! What are your favorite salad greens?
Sprinkle salted pistachios or nuts of your choice over the greens, they add a delicious twist. Add the golden raisins. The brie you can do however you’d like… sliced into really thin pieces, chunks, or a wedge placed on the side.
Drizzle the dressing on top, and eat it outside in this lovely spring sunshine.
