Mandarin Salad with a Citrus Poppy Seed Dressing

This Mandarin Salad with Citrus Poppy Seed Dressing is super easy to make and is like a burst of freshness on a summer day. The juicy mandarin oranges, citrus dressing, and Salad Topper Crunch all give this salad the perfect mix of flavours and I really love the crunch the naturSource mix adds. With the crispy noodles, nuts, seeds, and dried cranberries, the mix really makes this salad quick and easy to throw together!

I love the homemade poppy seed vinaigrette and find it unbelievably addicting. I often double the recipe as I like to have dressing on hand for quick meals during the week. It can be stored in a sealed container for up to 7 days in the fridge.

This Mandarin Salad with Citrus Poppy Seed Dressing is always a fan favourite at get togethers and I love how quickly it can be thrown together!
