For the salad, segment the oranges. First slice the top and bottom off each orange, then cut away the peel and any white pith using a small, sharp knife. Holding each orange over a bowl to catch all the juice, cut down either side of each segment to release it, then squeeze the shells to release any extra juice. Measure 4 tbsp of this juice into a small bowl and mix with the mustard, honey and remaining chilli.
