Poppy Seed Dressing

1. 1 cup granulated sugar
2. 1 tsp. dry mustard
3. 1/2 tsp. salt
4. 1 1/2 tsp. paprika
5. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
6. 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
7. 1 tsp. grated onion
8. 2 TBS. poppy seeds (may be omitted)

Mix sugar, mustard powder, salt, paprika and vinegar-slowly add the vinegar beating with an electric mixer on low until the sugar dissolves (this may take about 5-10 minutes) add the grated onion and poppy seeds (if using). Beat a couple more minutes. Serve over spinach/strawberry salad. Store in refrigerator. I use my stand mixer and just let it mix slowly for a while. Jan
