Instructions
Prepare ingredients: measure 4 cups cooked turkey (diced or shredded), chop 2 stalks celery (about 1 cup), finely chop 2 tablespoons fresh dill and 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chop 1/4 cup nuts, slice 1/4 cup grapes if not already sliced, and measure 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, and salt and pepper to taste.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Stir the chopped dill and parsley into the mayonnaise mixture until evenly distributed.
Add the turkey and chopped celery to the bowl and gently fold until the turkey is evenly coated with the dressing.
Fold in the chopped nuts, dried cranberries, and sliced grapes, mixing gently to avoid crushing the grapes.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, stirring once more to combine and tasting to adjust seasoning if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours to chill and let the flavors meld.
Before serving, stir the salad, garnish with additional fresh herbs as desired, and serve chilled.
