I am making this for the second time. I am going to use broccoli instead of turkey, and 1/2 c. celery and 1/2 grated carrot, instead of 1 c. celery. And I use 1/2 gr. pepper and 1/2 red pepper. It is very good.

I've made this recipe many times over the years. I usually search through all my recipe magazines from Reiman Publications until I find this recipe, but this time I decided to just search on-line. Usually, I substitute chicken for the turkey because that's what I normally have on hand. This salad has a unique and wonderful flavor. People always ask for the recipe whenever I take it anywhere. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a delicious and different pasta salad.
