In a bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, maple syrup

or agave nectar, apple cider vinegar, and finely chopped red onion.

Stir in poppy seeds and mix well to distribute them evenly throughout the

dressing.

Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the sweetness

or acidity if needed.

If the dressing is too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding 2-3

tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your

desired thickness.

Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the

flavors to meld.

Give the dressing a final stir before serving. Drizzle it over your favorite

salads, fruit salads, or coleslaw.

Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for

up to one week.
