LITE FRUIT SALAD WITH HONEY POPPY SEED DRESSING BY PAULA DEEN



Lite Fruit Salad With Honey Poppy Seed Dressing by Paula Deen image

Another recipe from her cooking show. I found it made more dressing than I had salad for and it was a little on the sweet side so next time I'll add more salad ingredients and cut down on the honey, and I suppose you could even reserve the juice from the can of mandarin oranges and use that for the orange juice in the dressing.
