Turkey Salad
Description
This Turkey Salad is built from chopped cooked turkey combined with crisp celery, tart dried cranberries, and red onion for mild sharpness. The mayonnaise and Dijon mustard provide a creamy and tangy dressing, while fresh dill enhances the overall flavor with its distinct herbaceousness.
The salad offers both textural contrast and flavor complexity through the combination of juicy turkey, crunchy vegetables, and bursts of sweetness. Mixing the ingredients thoroughly and chilling before serving allows flavors to meld.
This salad is commonly served on bread or wraps, ideal for sandwiches. It's important to taste and adjust salt just before serving to achieve the desired flavor balance. Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to six days but do not freeze successfully.
