  • In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until combined. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking continuously until emulsified. Stir in the poppy seeds. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add more honey if you prefer it sweeter or more vinegar if you prefer it tangier. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
