Skinny Poppyseed Dressing

This Skinny Poppyseed Dressing is an unexpected flavor to pair with fruit...
but it tastes amazing!

This super simple recipe is the perfect way to lighten up the traditional Poppyseed Dressing. Recipe below>>>

I need to stop for a moment and tell you how much I love Poppyseed Dressing. Unfortunately, the feeling is not mutual. It doesn't love me back. It makes me gain weight by the truckload. {There's a part of me buried deep down that thinks I should kick this dieting gig to the curb and just be fat and happy. But, that's for a different blog post entirely. Ahem.}

I've made a Chicken Poppyseed Fruit Salad for eons with the regular bottled Poppyseed Dressing. On many occasions, I quite possibly ate more dressing than fruit. Possibly. 

I finally sat down and tinkered with a few Poppyseed Dressing recipes to come up with a lightened version that works well for me. When I plugged it into my Weight Watchers Recipe Builder, I can have 1/4 a cup for three points. I know, I know, that's a lot of dressing. If you're more sensible than me, you can have two tablespoons for one point. But, since the points of the salad I use this on are made up of only the chicken {I use all zero-point fruits}, I can eat a pretty large salad. So 1/4 cup it is. This is a no-judgement zone.

Skinny Poppyseed Dressing

Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup light, unsweetened coconut milk {in the dairy case}
- 3 tablespoons sugar {I've been trying to back away from the artificial sweeteners and the sugar doesn't add too many additional points here}.
- 4 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Directions:
Whisk all of your ingredients together and refrigerate overnight. Perfect on my Chicken Poppyseed Fruit Salad that you can find here
