Creamy Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

With aromatic fresh lemon syrup and tangy buttermilk as its foundation, this sweet 'n sour dressing comes together with less oil than a traditional vinaigrette. It's a great way to lighten up summer salads, whether served on their own or alongside heavier fare. I love it tossed with baby greens, diced mango, and crispy lemon candied pistachios, but it works well with salad fixin's of any kind.
