Poppy-Seed Dresing

• 1.5 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2/3 cups vinegar
• 3 tablespoons onion juice
• 2 cups salad oil - but never olive oil.
• 3 tablespoons poppy seeds.

1. Mix sugar, mustard, salt, and vinegar. Add onion juice and stir it in thoroughly. Add oil slowly, beating constantly, and continue to beat for a few minutes. Store in a cool place or the refrigerator, but not near the freezing coil.
2. It is easier and better to make with an electric mixer or blender, using medium speed, but if your endurance is good you may make it by hand with a rotary beater. The onion juice is obtained by grating a large white onion on the fine side of a grater, or putting it in an electric blender, then straining. If the dressing separates, pur off the clear part and start over, adding the poppy seed mixture slowly, but it will not separate unless it becomes too hot or too cold. It is delicious on fruit salads of any kind, but has a special affinity for grapefruit.
