Chicken Poppy Seed Salad

I like going to potlucks for this reason alone....because you'll find stuff like this salad! I don't know why but you can always count on some little old lady bringing her prized recipe she got from her friends at the clubhouse. This salad has it all...great taste and it's easy. The dressing is really what makes it so you can pretty much add what you want to it. I am not including measurements for the salad contents because you can make the salad as big or as little as you want. But the dressing recipe does make ALOT. So be prepared for that. You can't go wrong with this.....Enjoy!

Romaine Lettuce
Grilled Chicken with lots of lemon pepper, sliced
Red onion, sliced thinly
Crispy Bacon, crumbled
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Toasted almonds (or sugared almonds)

The Dressing....Yummmmm!

1 1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp dry mustard
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
3 Tb chopped onion
2 cups canola oil *Please note: I started with 1 cup of canola oil because 2 cups seemed like alot. So you may want to do the same.
2 Tb poppy seeds

Mix everything but the oil and the poppy seeds in a blender until well mixed. While the blender is on, slowly add the oil until thick. Stir in the poppy seeds
