D'Amico and Sons Turkey with Dried Cherries Salad

This was SUPER yummy!!  I got this from Miss P awhile back - and totally forgot about it!  I don't know if they still have this at D'Amicos or not - but you can order it from the Sodahls :)  I actually had chicken on hand so I used that instead of turkey - and it still tasted super yummy!!  The cherries and the almonds add a lot of flavor - so don't skimp on them!  You could for sure add cheese too - probably healthier without though :)

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients
1 box cooked Rotini pasta
1lb cooked, diced turkey breast
2 packages dried cherries
1 medium yellow onion
4 diced celery stalks
1 cup whole toasted almonds

Combine cooked and chilled pasta with turkey, dried cherries, diced onion, diced celery, and almonds.  My suggestion is to just mix what you plan on eating - so that you can keep the leftovers in their own containers.

Poppy Seed Dressing

2 cups mayo

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons dijon mustard

2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Combine powdered sugar with vinegar.  Add remaining ingredients and season to taste.  I used a pre-made dressing - Newman's Poppy Seed - and that tasted really good!!
