Author Notes

Many years ago, a friend of mine always used to keep cream sherry in our apartment. I never knew what he used it for, but when I got my own place, I bought it just out of habit and it spent months in the back of my oil/vinegar cabinet never being used. Once I finally started experimenting with it, I was pleasantly surprised. To this day, however, my favorite thing to do with it is make salad dressing with it. It's such a unique flavor - I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. —Ashley Marie

  • 1/2 cup grapeseed or sunflower oil

  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1/2 large shallot, minced

Directions
  1. Take the cut side of the garlic and rub against the inside of your salad dressing container. Place the garlic in the bottom of it.

I can't wait to try this tonight! (And I love that you just bought the sherry out of habit - don't we all have something we buy that we don't know what to do with?)
