Turkey, Mandarin and Poppy Seed Salad
>From National Turkey Federation
The secret ingredient in this dish is the Dijon mustard in the dressing.
Not only
does its strong, almost sweet flavor provide a nice balance to the red
wine
vinegar, but it thickens the dressing, holding the olive oil and vinegar
together.
Feel free to replace the poppy seeds with sesame seeds if desired.
