Move over meat and potatoes, salads are no longer a side dish. This hearty salad is perfect as the main event. It is loaded with protein, vitamins and good fats. Tossed with a homemade Greek yogurt dressing for a nutritious and delicious salad.

Tips

I like to use the Turkey Breast Schnitzel if I don’t have any cooked turkey available. It cooks up quickly in a fry-pan with olive oil, ready in 5 minutes
