Ingredients:
2 cups mayonnaise ( I use light mayo)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup powdered sugar, to taste
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar ( Can be hard to find. Try upscale grocer)
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 -2 teaspoon salt ( Original recipe calls for 2 t, but I found that to be a little too much for my taste.)
1 lb bow tie pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces cooked turkey, cubed ( more may be used)
3 ounces dried cherries ( may use 5)
1/2 cup diced yellow onions
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Directions:
Cook pasta, drain,& toss in olive oil.
Cool.
Combine pasta, turkey, cherries, onion, celery,& 1/4 c almonds.
Mix in dressing to desired consistency.
Top with other 1/4 c almonds.
NOTE: I tried substituting dried cranberries with cherry flavoring, but the flavor is just not the same as the dried cherries!
