Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Salad
- 3 cups cooked turkey, diced
- 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
- 1 cup coleslaw mix
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 2 scallions, diced
- 1 1/3 cups chow mein noodles
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, milk, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Combine salad ingredients: Add the diced cooked turkey, shredded romaine, coleslaw mix, diced celery, dried cranberries, and scallions to the bowl with the dressing. Toss everything gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Add crunchy toppings: If serving immediately, stir in the toasted sliced almonds and chow mein noodles to maintain their crunch. If not serving right away, keep these toppings separate and add them just before serving.
- Serve: Portion the salad into bowls and enjoy fresh for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- To keep the almonds and chow mein noodles crunchy, add them just before serving if making the salad ahead of time.
- This salad works well with leftover roasted turkey or rotisserie chicken.
- For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- You can add extra vegetables like shredded carrots or bell peppers for more color and crunch.
- Store leftovers without almonds and chow mein noodles for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
