I made this recipe as is except I scaled the recipe down to 2 oranges as it was only me at home. I have had many variations of this recipe but I can honestly say this is the "best". Heating the dressing part draws the flavours out and makes it taste really specail. I heated the dressing in the microwave and it worked out well. I suggest adding the mint, It adds visual appeal also contrast in taste. Next time I will add some blanched slivered almonds as well. Thank you Chabear01 for posting.

    Very refreshing. The honey-orange water combo is wonderful, and I'd say the mint here is essential - not optional. It provides a lovely bright contrast in flavour to the sweet/tart fruit and dressing.
