A pleasant summer-time salad - I enjoyed the tart dried cherries with the turkey and apples and it combined well with the lime dressing; however, I felt the dressing had too much oil and I had already cut the amount in half! I did enjoy the fresh lime juice. I used the optional sliced almonds and agree that they should be optional as they didn't lend themselves to the salad much. All in all, made a refreshing salad for our lunch today with ingredients I always have around! Made for My 3-Chefs.
