Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups smoked turkey, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire chutney
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups mixed greens
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Dice the smoked turkey into bite-sized pieces, chop the celery, and finely dice the red onion. Set these aside in separate bowls.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced smoked turkey, chopped celery, and diced red onion. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
- In another small bowl, prepare the Worcestershire chutney vinaigrette. Combine the Worcestershire chutney and mayonnaise. Whisk them together until you achieve a smooth and well-blended dressing.
- Pour the Worcestershire chutney vinaigrette over the turkey mixture. Gently fold the dressing into the turkey, celery, and onion until everything is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- To serve, place a generous handful of mixed greens on each plate. Top the greens with the smoked turkey salad mixture, ensuring an even distribution for all servings.
- Optionally, you can garnish the salad with additional ingredients such as sliced almonds, dried cranberries, or fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your Smoked Turkey Salad with Worcestershire Chutney Vinaigrette immediately, or refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Tips
- Choose high-quality smoked turkey for the most robust flavor - look for turkey from a deli or specialty meat counter.
- For extra crunch, consider toasting your chopped celery briefly in a dry pan before mixing.
- Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you want to make the salad ahead of time, prepare the ingredients separately and combine just before serving to maintain optimal texture.
- Experiment with different mixed greens like arugula, spinach, or a spring mix to add variety.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for some of the mayonnaise.
- Always taste and adjust seasoning before serving - a pinch of salt or pepper can make a big difference!
