Smoked Turkey Salad With Cashews and Sherry Dressing
8 to 10 ounces smoked turkey breast
1 scallion
1 rib celery
2 cups red and/or green seedless grapes
Leaves from 4 stems flat-leaf parsley
¼ lemon
2 tablespoons dry sherry (may substitute 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar)
½ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise (do not use nonfat)
¼ cup roasted, unsalted cashew pieces, plus more for garnish
Cut the turkey into bite-size chunks. Cut the scallion and celery into thin slices. Cut some of the grapes in half. Finely chop the parsley leaves.
Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a mixing bowl, then whisk in the sherry, sugar, salt, pepper and mayonnaise.
Transfer the turkey, scallion, celery, grapes, chopped parsley and the ¼ cup of cashew pieces to the bowl, tossing gently until evenly coated.
Divide among individual bowls or plates. Top with more cashew pieces. Serve nestled in radicchio leaves, and with warm flatbread or naan.
