Instructions
-
- Prepare the exquisite mayonnaise by combining the Patak's Garlic Relish with mayonnaise, adjusting the flavors to your liking. For a stronger curry taste, add more garlic relish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced smoked turkey, finely chopped red onion, diced celery, raisins, and freshly ground black pepper. Gradually fold in the prepared curry mayonnaise until the salad reaches a cohesive consistency, ensuring it is not overly moist. Season with salt only if necessary, considering that smoked turkey is typically salted.
- For serving, lightly drizzle a bowl of mixed greens with a hint of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, as the curry mayo provides additional dressing. Top the greens with a generous portion of the turkey salad, sprinkle with coarsely chopped toasted walnuts, and a dash of black pepper. At Iris Cafe, it is traditionally served alongside a slice of toasted cranberry pecan bread from Pain d'Avignon, in the Essex Street Market.
