Notes
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Leftover turkey from a holiday meal works perfectly for this salad. You can even freeze the shredded turkey and use it later.
- Always toast your walnuts before chopping to avoid burning the small pieces.
- Customize this salad to suit your preferences. Add extra celery for more crunch, substitute green onions with red onions, or leave out the onions if you prefer.
- If you like a creamier salad, simply add a bit more mayo or sour cream.
