1 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon prepared mustard

1 banana, sliced
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
One 11-ounce can mandarin oranges, drained

Preparation

  1. For the dressing, combine the honey, orange juice, oil, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, poppy seeds, salt, and mustard in a jar with a tight lid; cover and shake well.
