Posted on 11. Jul, 2009 by admin in Chicken Salads

“Easy to make and tastes wonderful. You can use either turkey or chicken. You can serve it plain, on salad greens, or in a pita. Very versatile. If in season, try substituting black cherries for the grapes.”

* 3/4 cup light mayonnaise
* 1 teaspoon white vinegar
* 1 teaspoon white sugar
* salt and pepper to taste
* 2 cups cooked, cubed turkey meat
* 1/4 cup diced green onion
* 1 cup seedless red grapes
* 6 ounces blanched slivered almonds

DIRECTIONS

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in rice, turkey, onion and grapes until evenly coated with dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
