I’ve tried a number of poppy seed dressings, but none like this, with red onion in the mixture. It really does give it a special zing! This pairs well with cabbage salads and salads that contain fruit.

The strawberries give this dressing a really great quality, flavor, and dimension. This dressing is an all-around favorite! And don’t think it can only be used with salads that contain fruit. It pairs well with almost any salad, especially those containing cheese.

Tried the light balsamic dressing – was really great, the balsamic flavour wasn’t overwhelming and neither was the mayo – a good blend.

How long would you say these would last in the fridge?

I would say anywhere between 5-7 days. To ensure they last the longest make sure to only use clean utensils in the, so there is no cross-contamination and that they stay in the fridge.
