Mixed Citrus Green Salad with Orange-Poppyseed Dressing



This recipe, which was adapted from "Cooking Light", is full of many wonderful flavors.
You will only use half of the dressing. Save the rest for another use. You may like this salad so much, that you will want to make it again the next day!
