Crisp Turkey Asian Salad

Here’s what happens behind the scenes: It was a half hour before Shabbos and I still couldn’t decide if I wanted a vinaigrette (typical) for this salad or a mayo-based dressing (more unusual). Suddenly I had an epiphany — why not incorporate spicy mayo into the dressing along with other ingredients synonymous with Asian cuisine?

Feverishly, I put it all together, simultaneously jotting down the amounts. Baruch Hashem, it was a big hit, and was finished to the last drop. The dressing was so incredible that I used it for a regular lettuce salad at our Purim seudah. When
my friend tasted it, she said I must bottle it and sell it! Stay tuned…
