SALAD



4 cup Cooked turkey, cut in 1-1/2" pieces

1 cup Seedless green grapes

1 cup Seedless red grapes



DRESSING



2 Egg yolks

1 tsp Basil leaves

1/4 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Pepper

1 tbsp Country-style Dijon mustard

1 cup Vegetable oil

1/4 cup Lemon juice

1/3 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

8 Lettuce leaves

Clusters of seedless red and green grapes

In large bowl stir together all salad ingredients. In blender or food processor combine all dressing ingredients EXCEPT oil, lemon juice and Parmesan cheese. Cover; blend on high until thoroughly combined. With blender still running, take off cover and slowly add 1/2 cup oil, lemon juice and remaining 1/2 cup oil. Blend until thickened (1 to 2 min.). By hand, stir in Parmesan cheese. Stir 1/2 cup dressing into salad. On platter or individual salad plates place lettuce leaves. Spoon turkey salad on lettuce; arrange clusters of grapes around salad. Serve with remaining dressing.
