One of the best things to eat in the summer is salad, fresh from the garden. I pick the lettuce, pull the onions and radishes, picks some peppers and pinch a few fresh herbs. Then all you have to do it put it together. This is my recipe for summer salad with turkey, one of my favorites! I start with fresh ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium lettuce head (Bibb, Romaine, etc)
- 1 green pepper
- 2 sweet banana peppers
- 1 tomato
- 3 green onions
- 3 radishes
- 1 cup of small cauliflower florets
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped baby peas in the pod
- 1 1/2 cups of chopped turkey (already cooked)
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pinches of fresh dill
- salt and pepper
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl toss the turkey chunks in the lemon juice and dill with salt and pepper and set aside to marinade
Chop the lettuce and place in a large bowl
Coarsely chop the vegetables and add to the lettuce
Toss to mix, throughly
Place the marinated turkey on top of the salad and serve

There is nothing better on a fresh summer salad than fresh homemade dressing. I have already shared my favorite dressing recipes with you all, in past posts, so now is a great time to revisit your favorite to put on this delicious salad.

I wanted to share a post from my new blog that I just started a few weeks ago, Jade's Homemade Recipes. These dressing recipes are really delicious and they would be perfect for this salad.

If you don't have your own garden, to grow fresh veggies, pick some up at the local farmer's market or organic food store. You can still make your own dressing and have this delicious, crisp salad for dinner. My suggested sides to eat with this salad are toasted pita wedges or garlic toast.
Hope you enjoy it and have a great week!
