Modern Waldorf Salad image

A Waldorf salad inspired my pasta dish. I use smoked turkey, apples, strawberries and orecchiette. Rotisserie chicken and other fruits would also taste fabulous. -Sonya Labbe, West Hollywood, California

This salad is so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the way the apples and celery add a bit of crunch, and the grapes and walnuts add a touch of sweetness. The dressing is also very tasty.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great make-ahead meal, as it tastes even better the next day. I love packing it for lunch or taking it to picnics.
