Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Avocados should be ripe but not too soft. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and have a slight give when pressed gently.
- Segment the oranges properly: To segment the oranges, use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Then, score the orange down the sides, following the natural segments of the fruit. Use your fingers to gently pull the segments apart.
- Make the poppy seed dressing ahead of time: The poppy seed dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Simply whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl and store the dressing in the refrigerator.
- Adjust the sweetness of the dressing to your liking: The amount of honey or maple syrup in the dressing can be adjusted to your liking. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.

This orange avocado salad with poppy seed dressing is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer.
