2. Bitten Creamy Lemon Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

Bitten Creamy Lemon Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

Average Price: around $5 (12 fl oz) 

Why We Love It: This is a dairy-free product with no artificial preservatives or flavors, artificial dyes, or high fructose corn syrup, perfect for any salad.

It is made from real fruit and natural flavors, making it a best-seller in most stores like Walmart. 

This one has the perfect blend of tangy taste and rich creaminess for summer salads topped with fruit. Or you can drizzle it on apples and grapes, as it only contains 70 calories per serving.

3. Annie’s Lite Poppy Seed Salad Dressing Non-GMO

Average Price: around $2-4 (236 mL)

Why We Love It: Annie’s Lite has a slightly sweet taste, making it an excellent choice for traditional green salads or any meal you want to enhance the flavor.

However, many customers have complained that most of their local groceries stopped selling this dressing. It’s a good thing that you can still buy it on Amazon and Walmart online. 

4. Briannas Organic Rich Poppy Seed Dressing

Average Price: around $10 (296 mL) 

Why We Love It: This time, we have an organic product from Briannas. This one is a good choice if you’re into sweet and creamy fruit salads, sandwiches, and wraps. 

It is vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free but has a high-calorie content per serving. So if you don’t have to watch your calorie intake, you can use it with bread, peaches, vegetables, and coleslaw.

5. Newman’s Own Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

Average Price: around $45 (473 mL/6 pcs) 

Why We Love It: Adding this gluten-free poppy seed salad dressing to our salads, sandwiches, or any dish would add just the right level of sweetness.

However, the onion flavor is a little heavy in this dressing, and it may leave you with bad breath after. 

One thing that sets Newman’s Own Poppy Seed Salad Dressing from the rest is the company’s commitment to helping millions of unfortunate children in the country.

6. Ott’s Poppy Seed Dressing

Average Price: around $16-17 (474 mL/2 pcs) 

Why We Love It: Ott’s is sweet, mainly with subtle hints of poppy seed in the blend. It has a decent price and a bit runny texture compared to other poppy seeds. 

7. Kraft Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing 

Average Price: around $13 (473 ml) 

Why We Love It: The Kraft Creamy is on the expensive side of the list, but it is creamier and more delicious than other brands, making it worth the price.

This gluten-free dressing was one of our favorites before discovering other dressing brands.

8. Ken’s Poppy Seed Dressing

Ken's Poppy Seed Dressing

Average Price: around $7 (473 mL) 

Why We Love It: Having dietary restrictions limits us to the kind of salad dressings we can incorporate into our salads.

Ken’s Poppy Seed Dressing is another excellent choice because it is vegan and has low-calorie content per serving. 

This dressing creates a tasty, creamy salad with a smooth, mild tanginess, like a slightly tangy mayonnaise.

9. Skinnygirl Fat-Free Salad Dressing, Sugar-Free

Average Price: around $2-3 (237 ml) 

Why We Love It: The Skinnygirl Fat-Free Salad Dressing is another friendly salad dressing for those with a restricted diet. Two tablespoons of this delicious dressing only contain ten calories. 

It may differ from what you expect from your favorite restaurant or other dressings, but this one is more delicious than expected for a diet salad dressing.

10. Skinny Girl Poppyseed & Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressings 

Average Price: around $2-3 (237 mL) 

Why We Love It: This variety has an even lower calorie content, with 5 cal per serving, but it still offers a delicious, rich flavor to salads.

“Despite its drawbacks, poppyseed dressing has some positive effects on your body. It offers a significant amount of vitamin K, a nutrient that your body needs to form blood clots and maintain healthy bone tissue.”

– Nicole LeBoeuf-Little, Freelance Writer

This salad dressing has a sharp balsamic vinaigrette flavor, perfect for any family meal. 

11. Annie’s Naturals Lite Poppy Seed Dressing

Average Price: around $30-35 (6 pcs) 

Why We Love It: This one is another product from Annie’s, and it is widely favored for its sharp, zingy flavor that transforms a dull salad or coleslaw into a delicious one. 

However, it has become less and less available in many groceries, so we listed this one near the bottom of our list. You can still order it on Amazon, but it has been out of stock recently.

12. FRONTIER Organic Whole Poppy Seed
