Turkey Potato and Apple Salad


You will need

1 cup of mayonnaise
1 cup shredded turkey (I prefer the shredded breast part)
2 fuji apples (I like fuji apples because they are sweeter and crunchier)
2 stalks of celery or a small cucumber (I used celery)
lemon juice
half a cup of walnuts (halved or chopped are okay)
3 medium Red Potatoes

Boil the potatoes until tender. But be careful not to make it too tender that they reach mashed potato consistency. Drain, let cool, and peel. Then cut into quarters.

Wash the apples. Cut, take the seeds out, and cut into the same size as the potatoes. Put in a separate bowl and toss in some lemon juice to avoid discoloration.

Wash the celery or the cucumber and then chop. Obviously, if you are using cucumbers, you will need to peel them. English cucumbers are best, as they are seedless.

Mix all ingredients together in a bigger bowl, then chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.

Turkey and Red Grapes Salad


You will need

1 cup of mayonnaise
2 cups shredded turkey (I prefer the shredded breast part)
58 pieces seedless red grapes (very specific!)
3 stalks of celery
salt and pepper to taste

Wash, drain and slice the red grapes in half, then wash, drain and chop the celery.
Mix all of the ingredients. Add more mayonnaise to your liking. More mayonnaise, means more “wetness” in your salad, so if you prefer a “wetter” salad, add more mayonnaise.

Chill in the fridge and serve over chopped romaine lettuce, or in a sandwich… whichever you prefer.
