KATIE'S TURKEY CASHEW GRAPE
SALAD
 
1 (16 oz.) pkg. oven-roasted turkey breast, diced (I use Louis Rich)
2 large clusters red grapes, washed and plucked from stems (about 1 1/2 lb.)
1 (16 oz.) pkg. orzo pasta, cooked according to directions, cooled and rinsed
4 celery stalks, diced
1 small can whole cashews, divided
2 cups Miracle Whip (light works fine too)
1 (8 oz.) bottle Ranch dressing (I use Kraft light)
1/4 cup dry minced onion (optional)

Combine Miracle Whip and Ranch dressing in a bowl, add a little milk to thin if too thick (we want dressing consistency).

In a large bowl combine cooked orzo, celery, turkey and grapes, mix until will blended. Add dressing mix, folding until fully incorporated to dry. Add 1/2 can of cashews and combine.

Cover with Saran or plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Top with remaining cashews right before serving.

Serves 10, or more if side dish.

I made it for my book club and everyone was asking for the recipe (so here I am, printing some extra copies). The sweetness of the grapes with that creamy dressing... yum! Five stars!
