Turkey, Dried Cherry Pasta Salad

• Poppy Seed Dressing
• 2 cups mayonnaise (I use light mayo)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar, to taste
• 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar (Can be hard to find. Try upscale grocer)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon poppy seed
• 1 -2 teaspoon salt (Original recipe calls for 2 t, but I found that to be a little too much for my taste.)
• Salad
• 1 lb bow tie pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 ounces cooked turkey, cubed (more may be used)
• 3 ounces dried cherries (may use 5)
• 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

1. Cook pasta, drain,& toss in olive oil.
2. Cool.
3. Combine pasta, turkey, cherries, onion, celery,& 1/4 c almonds.
4. Mix in dressing to desired consistency.
5. Top with other 1/4 c almonds.
6. NOTE: I tried substituting dried cranberries with cherry flavoring, but the flavor is just not the same as the dried cherries!
