I half the recipe when not making it for a function...1/2 POPPYSEED DRESSING

3/4c sugar

1/3c red wine vinegar
1TBSP vidalia onion (red onion works too)

1 1/2 TBSP Poppyseeds

BEST SALAD EVER

Head of romaine + artisan blend of salads (can buy at Aldi's, Meijer's etc) or you can combine the romaine with a bag of spinach anything that is green and leafy...lets be honest I could eat this dressing with a spoon!

Add the below ingredients in quantities to your taste then slowly add poppyseed dressing in increments as you toss everything.  You want to coat it all with the poppyseed goodness, but not to the point of drowning your leafy friends! (You can make many a yummy salad with the amount it makes.)

Feta Cheese
Red Onion, thinly sliced & diced
Craisins
Mandarin Oranges
Candied Pecans or Almonds (see "nuts")

*Can also add crumbled cooked bacon and/or diced chicken if you want to make it..."a man salad"...
