I believe I just created the. best. salad dressing. ever. Not exaggerating. Perfect blend of sweetness, tartness and down right goodness. I’m always on the look out for a good use for my preserved lemons and this is a great one. Using a whole preserved lemon instead of just lemon juice adds a whole ‘nother level of awesomeness. My batch even includes some lactofermented hot mustard. No preserved lemons or lactofermented mustard? No need to fret, you can easily substitute Dijon mustard and leave out the lemon. It’s still super yummy.
Probiotic Rich Lemon Poppyseed Dressing
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 4 tbsp lemon juice (from fermented lemons)
- 1 preserved lemon, cut into pieces small enough to blend (just leave out if you don’t have any or use the zest of 1 regular lemon)
- 1/4 of a small onion, diced
- 1 tsp fermented hot mustard (see below or sub regular Dijon style mustard if needed)
- 1 tbsp poppyseeds
- sea salt to taste (I use about 1/4 tsp)
Place all ingredients in a quart sized mason jar and using an immersion blender, puree ingredients (you can use a blender but this is a much easier clean up).

Lactofermented Hot Mustard
- 2 jars of ground mustard, 1.75 oz each (or you can ground whole mustard
- whey
Slowly mix in whey until the mustard is at the consistency desired. Loosely cover and let set at room temperature for about 3 days. Remove to cold storage.Part of Homestead Barn Hop, Fat Tuesday Probiotic Food Challenge

What a great recipe. I posted on preserved lemons a couple of weeks ago and I love finding recipes that use them! This probiotic rich dressing would be a great addition to any salad!

Oh fun! Thanks for letting me know about Whole Food Wednesdays. I'll for sure stop by. I'll have to link to you preserved lemons recipe too. I love preserved lemons!
I read through the recipe and directions several times, but for some reason I’m not seeing how much poppyseed to use and when to add it into the mix … help!!!
Hmm, a lemon poppyseed dressing without poppyseeds! Thanks for letting me know I left it out. It’s 1 tbsp and you add it with the rest of the ingredients.
thanks!!!
