Best Papaya Seed Dressing Recipe

Here's the recipe for the absolutely best papaya seed salad dressing, obtained from Ono Family Restaurant, a small restaurant in Kauai just before they changed ownership. For the best results, use only papaya seeds from a sweet fruit, and absolutely do not use normal white, brown, or red onions -- only a Maui onion will do, trust me on this!


Papaya Seed Dressing

1 C sugar
1 t salt
1 t dry mustard (Coleman's)
1 small Maui onion, quartered to blend easier
1 T papaya seeds (seeds only, no fruit); can substitute poppy seeds if need be
1 C red wine vinegar
2-3 C vegetable oil
1 C pineapple juice

Blend in blender, makes approx. 4 C dressing. Serve over cold, fresh greens. Store leftover dressing in sealed container in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
