Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups mayonnaise (I use light mayo)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup powdered sugar, to taste
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar (Can be hard to find. Try upscale grocer)
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon poppy seed
1 -2 teaspoon salt (Original recipe calls for 2 t, but I found that to be a little too much for my taste.)
1 lb bow tie pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces cooked turkey, cubed (more may be used)
3 ounces dried cherries (may use 5)
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Cook pasta, drain,& toss in olive oil.
  • Cool.
  • Combine pasta, turkey, cherries, onion, celery,& ¼ c almonds.
  • Mix in dressing to desired consistency.
  • Top with other ¼ c almonds.
  • NOTE: I tried substituting dried cranberries with cherry flavoring, but the flavor is just not the same as the dried cherries!
