This unique medley with its light dressing is probably my most requested recipe. I often double it and serve it at fancy parties in a clear glass bowl...it's beautiful.

When draining the oranges, save the juice to add to the dressing instead of the water. I will add less liquid next time because the dressing was a little runny.
