Mustard Poppy Seed Dressing

This is a recipe I got from my mother in law. The first time I had it I loved it so much I basically wanted to lick the remains of my salad plate! I make it fairly often, and usually use it with a salad that contains things like avacados, mangos, strawberries, etc. The salad she uses it with contains grapefruit, mandarin oranges, and avacado.  I lost her little recipe book for a few months and was so upset that I no longer had this recipe that, upon finding it this morning I immediately decided to post it so that I couldn't lose it again!

Ingredients:
1 tsp. poppy seeds
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. prepared mustard (French's)
3/4 cup salad oil (I just use Canola, and often use a little less)
1 tbsp. minced, dried onion

Blend the first five ingredients, then add oil gradually and stir in the onion. Refrigerate, and shake or stir thoroughly before serving. Will keep several months.
