Apple, Sweet Potato, & Turkey Salad
Recipe courtesy of our brand partner, Sage Fruit.
Apple, Sweet Potato, & Turkey Salad is a hearty main-course salad. It’s a perfect way to use up any leftover turkey and/or sweet potatoes from the holidays!
This salad can be made with any apple variety, but we recommend Gala. Gala apples originated in New Zealand and brought to the United States in the 1970s and today are one of the countries most popular varieties. They are a cross between Kidd’s Orange Red and Golden Delicious. Gala apples are extra sweet and juicy, giving this salad lots of flavor. You can find Gala apples in grocery stores year round.

- 2 cups apple unpeeled, cored, cubed (Gala apples recommended)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise light

- 1/2 tsp garlic salt

Instructions
