| 1 teaspoon | dijon-style prepared mustard |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 2/3 cup | vegetable oil |

Directions:
In a blender or food processor, combine sugar, lemon juice, onion, mustard, and salt. Process until well blended. With machine still running, add oil in a slow, steady stream until mixture is thick and smooth. Add poppy seeds, and process just a few seconds more to mix.
