Tips:
- Choose juicy and ripe oranges for the best flavor. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have smooth, blemish-free skin.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the oranges into segments. This will help to prevent the segments from tearing and becoming mushy.
- To remove the seeds from the orange segments, use a small paring knife to carefully cut along the outside of the seed. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the orange.
- For a sweeter salad, use blood oranges instead of regular oranges.
- If you don't have poppy seeds, you can use sesame seeds or chopped walnuts instead.

Mandarin orange salad with warm poppy seed dressing is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of sweet oranges, tangy dressing, and crunchy poppy seeds is sure to please everyone at your table. This salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. For example, you can add other fruits such as grapefruit or strawberries, or you can use a different type of dressing, such as a honey-lime dressing.
