Update: I have been making this recipe for a couple of years now, and I absolutely love it. It is healthy, delicious and super easy to make. This time I thought I would try it with turkey since we have a ton leftover from Thanksgiving. It was wonderful! I am so sick of turkey salad. This is a great alternative. Thank you so much for the recipe, Dari.
