Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a creamier dressing, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the mix
• Avoid over-dressing the salad to keep it light and refreshing
• Serve with a slice of whole-grain bread for a complete meal
Food Safety:
• Ensure the turkey is fully cooked before adding to the salad
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days
