Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked turkey breast, shredded or diced

4 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine)

1 medium cucumber, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup toasted walnuts or almonds

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Zest and juice of 2 lemons

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lemon Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

    Assemble the Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl or salad bowl, add the mixed salad greens as the base.

      Add Vegetables: Layer the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and red onion on top of the greens.

        Incorporate Turkey: Gently fold in the shredded or diced turkey breast, ensuring it’s evenly distributed among the veggies.

          Add Cheese and Nuts: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and toasted walnuts or almonds on top of the salad for a bit of crunch and creaminess.

            Finish with Parsley: Add the chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

              Dress the Salad: Drizzle the lemon dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to combine all ingredients without breaking up the avocado and turkey too much.

                Serve: Divide the salad into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy your bright and refreshing lemon and turkey salad bowl!
