Turkey Waldorf Salad image

This is not your classic Waldorf salad, which is traditionally a mélange of apples, celery, raisins, walnuts and grapes in a thick mayonnaise-based dressing. Here, the dressing, thinned out and lightened with yogurt, is spiced with curry and cumin, and the salad mix includes a generous amount of chopped radicchio or endive, which bring a bitter dimension into the mix. This salad is also an excellent home for leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a great make-ahead salad.

I was a bit hesitant to try this salad because I'm not a big fan of celery. But I'm so glad I did! The celery adds a nice crunch and freshness to the salad.
