What an easy and refreshing salad this is! I am very partial to the poppy seed dressing in Winter Fruit Salad With Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing, and I happened to have some on hand, so this salad was a real snap to make. I used an English cucumber so I did not peel it, nor remove the seeds. I served this with a rather spicy Thai chicken and loved the combination. Thanks for this recipe that will have many encores over the summer at my house.

Very good combination of flavors. It was a great side dish for our picnic. It couldn't be easier to throw together. Threw in some grapes cut in half as well. I will make this again.

Very easy and tasty, went great with our Asian dish for dinner. I used more cucumber and a little less oranges (they were packed in juice and NOT syrup!) I de-seeded the cucumbers as well. I did not have any dressing so I just made up my own... 2-3 tablespoons fat-free mayo, 1/2 tablespoon each vinegar and lemon juice, 2 packets Splenda, 1/2 tsp poppy seeds. Served over baby greens.
