Mandarin Poppyseed Dressing/Marinade

I took a look in the pantry and pulled out some ingredients I thought would go well together as a salad dressing and or also make a flavorful marinade for grilled veggies, chicken, fish or pork.  This  combination of ingredients created a dressing and also a marinade with just enough tang to balance out a salad and also a great contrast for grilled main dishes.
