Creamy Poppyseed Dressing (like Briana's)

It is FINALLY beautiful weather here today.  I say "today," because it's only supposed to last a few days and then we're back to rain, snow, and cold.  But regardless of how long the weather is supposed to be nice, I wanted to enjoy it with a fresh, crisp salad.  Spinach Strawberry Salad would do the trick, but I needed a good dressing to top it with.  I found this wonderful concoction on the Deals to Meals Blog.  The bonus is that I already had all the ingredients at home!
