ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo from this salad. I never heard of read about creamy poppy seed dressing! New for me.
ReplyDeleteOk receipe for poppy seed dressing, anyone
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Rennes, but I've also used Kraft.
DeleteItalian dressing works for this salad as well, add just a little more zip.
ReplyDeleteWould you please tell us the size of can/amount in each can, you use? Or is it basically equal amounts of each?
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to know what size of can(s) used.
Delete398ml / 14 fl oz. is the size of cans for the beans.
DeletePaul Newman brand makes a creamy poppy seed dressing.
ReplyDeleteYum! And healthy too with all those beans. I might try the Italian dressing option as one of your commenters mentioned although whenever I try a recipe I use it exactly as the creator intended and follow it to the letter and then if I want to add my own touches or changes I do it the next time. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour words re the poppy seed dressing refer only to "creamy poppy seed dressing" - no ingredients listed - so I was hoping you'd give that recipe. The poppy seed dressing I frequently make for salads - I NEVER buy ready made - is similar to recipes frequently listed. But I wonder if you add something additional that makes it "creamy" - more creamy than the usual recipe? Please clarify! Thanks. Also, I really like that you added corn - great idea! I've often made bean salad but never added corn which, I think, sounds delicious! Thanks again.
