Pink Poppy Seed Dressing
Using shallots and red wine vinegar gives this dressing a lovely light pink color. Onions in a dressing can be quite overpowering, but when paired with sweet berries in the salad, everything balances perfectly together.

Notes
Makes about 1/2 cup
-Freezing the onion does two things: greatly reduces its strong raw flavor and allows it to be pureed completely smooth.
