In a small bowl whisk together 1/4 cup tangerine juice, vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon honey, vinegar, tangerine zest and mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
Salad:
In a small microwave-safe bowl combine raisins and 3 tablespoons tangerine juice. Microwave on HIGH 20 to 30 seconds or until the mixture begins to bubble. Let stand 10 minutes; drain.
