How to Make Turkey Dried Cherry Pasta Salad
- Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Allow the pasta to cool completely. This helps the salad stay fresh and prevents a soggy texture.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, 2 cups cooked turkey (cubed or shredded), 1 cup dried cherries, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together your favorite dressing (see suggestions below). Add to the pasta mixture, starting with 1/2 cup and adding more to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with an additional 1/4 cup slivered almonds for extra crunch before serving.
