Cranberry And Shredded Turkey Waldorf Salad Recipe
A twist on the traditional Waldorf Salad recipe with shredded turkey, sweetened cranberries, grapes, celery, pecans, apple, and an incredible crème fraîche chive dressing. We call it the Cranberry And Shredded Turkey Waldorf Salad, but you can call it yours!
Cook The Cranberries: If you don't have cranberry sauce, you'll have to briefly cook the cranberries. Place the cranberries in a medium saucepan with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries just collapse, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool briefly before using. TIP: Cranberries can be cooked in advance. Let cool and store refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use.
Make The Yogurt Dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, crème fraîche, yogurt, vinegar, maple or honey, and a pinch of each salt and pepper. Stir in the chives, taste, and add more salt and pepper, as needed. TIP: Dressing can be made up to two days ahead of time. Store refrigerated in an airtight container and add the fresh chives just before usinig.
Assemble The Waldorf Salad: Toss the turkey in the dressing until it is well coated then divide among serving plates and scatter each with the grapes, celery, apple, pecans, and cranberry and serve.
