Thanksgiving Leftovers #1: Turkey, Apple and Pecan Salad

by

Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

3 cups cold roast turkey, cubed
2 cups red & green apples, cubed
1 cup carrot, shredded
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
3/4 cup ready-prepared mayonnaise
1 to 2 tbsp mustard (I used organic honey mustard)
1/4 cup fresh herbs: chives, tarragon or parsley
Salt & pepper

Mix all the ingredients together well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. We’d gone apple picking this weekend so I used a combination of Red Delicious and Mutsu (crispin) apples; granny smiths would be delicious. You can serve this salad as is, in between bread for sandwiches or on Romain leaves for healthy lettuce wraps.
