A refreshing, interesting combination of turkey, pasta and fruit with a lightly sweet dressing makes this a family favorite. I found the recipe in an old church cookbook years ago. —Bernice Smith, Sturgeon Lake, Minnesota

Delicious combination of tastes and textures! I hate pasta salads, however, so I omit pasta, or substitute cold cooked rice.
