Method

  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, cider vinegar, sugar, curry powder, and black pepper in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.

  2. In a salad bowl, lightly toss the turkey meat, red grapes, apple, celery, red onion, and walnuts.

  3. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again to evenly coat all the ingredients.

  4. Chill the salad for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.

  5. Cook's Note:

  6. Here are four tips to customize the recipe to your liking:

  7. - Instead of red grapes and apple, you can try using apricots, dried cranberries, or raisins as the fruit component.

  8. - If you prefer a lighter option, use fat-free mayo, yogurt, or sour cream instead of regular mayo.

  9. - For a vegetarian version, you can substitute chicken or tuna with additional veggies or omit the meat entirely.

  10. - Feel free to use any kind of nut; pecans are a popular choice.
