Tantalizing Mandarin Orange Shrimp Salad image

This salad is a real crowd pleaser or just right for your family dinner or picnic. I triple this recipe for our church functions. It is always the first salad to go. It's often requested by many. I have made this salad with the poppy seed dressing for over 30 years. The photo(s) are mine.
