  Mark Haugen writes: "This makes a great summer buffet dish. Just
  add some terrific corn sticks and you have a simply delicious
  meal."
  
  Roast all peppers and chiles over an open flame until the skin
  blisters. Then place them in a covered bowl or plastic bag until
  the skin begins to loosen. Peel, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice.
  
  Combine diced peppers, turkey, and celery in a large bowl. Season
  with salt and pepper to taste.
  
  To make dressing, please refer to the recipe
  "Almond-Anaheim Dressing" in this cookbook.
  
  Toss salad with dressing and adjust seasonings to your preference.
  Serve salad sprinkled with toasted almonds and garnished with fresh
  fruits.
