Grape Turkey Salad Platter

A refreshing make-ahead salad with turkey, grapes, and a tangy dressing, perfect for large gatherings.

This salad is a crowd-pleaser, combining tender turkey, sweet grapes, and crunchy pecans with a creamy, tangy dressing. It's best served chilled, making it a great make-ahead option for parties or potlucks.

Field editor Sue Ross of Casa Grande, Arizona, recommends serving it on a chilled platter and replenishing often to keep it fresh. The salad keeps well in the refrigerator, so leftovers are welcome.

Method

  1. In several large bowls, combine the cubed turkey, halved grapes, diced celery, toasted pecans, and sliced green onions.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chicken broth, vinaigrette, and prepared mustard until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the turkey mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  5. Serve the salad chilled, preferably on a cold platter. Refrigerate any leftovers.

💡 Tips

  • For best results, chill the salad for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  • Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  • If you prefer a lighter dressing, reduce the mayonnaise slightly and add more broth.
