Curried Smoked Turkey Salad
- 1 teaspoon Patak's Garlic Relish
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 pound smoked turkey breast, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1/4 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1/4 cup flame or golden raisins (dried cranberries wouldn't be bad, either!)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 handfuls mixed greens (be generous)
- 1 splash Olive oil, for sprinkling
- 1 splash Balsamic vinegar, for sprinkling
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
- 4 slices cranberry (or raisin) pecan bread, toasted and buttered
- Make the mayonnaise: mix the garlic relish and mayonnaise, and adjust to taste, adding more garlic relish for more curry flavor.
- Combine the turkey, onion, celery, raisins and black pepper, and then, little by little, add in the mayo, folding it together with a spoon. The salad should just come together, but not be too wet. Only season with salt if necessary (smoked turkey is usually salted).
- To serve: sprinkle a bowl of greens with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar (the curry mayo also acts as additional dressing so use oil and vinegar sparingly!). Serve a generous scoop of the turkey salad on top of greens, top with a handful of the chopped walnuts, and a little more black pepper. At Iris Cafe, they serve this salad with a piece of toasted cranberry pecan bread from Pain d'Avignon, in the Essex Street Market.
