Crunchy Fruit and Turkey Salad (4 Points)
Ready In: 15 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb smoked turkey, diced into 3/8 to 1/4 inch cubes
- 1 small jicama, bulb peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch sticks
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick sticks about 1 1/2 inches long
- 1 stalk celery (sliced or diced depending on thickness)
- 2 scallions, sliced green parts only
- 1 granny smith apple, cored and cubed
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1⁄4 cup golden raisin
- 6 cups red leaf lettuce, washed and torn
Dressing
- 1⁄2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Garnish
- 1⁄4 cup toasted slivered almonds (optional)
Directions
- You can find smoked turkey at most deli counters. Ask the service person to cut a single piece at the desired thickness. If they do not have smoked turkey try smoked chicken breast or regular turkey breast.
- Combine all salad components except for the lettuce in a large bowl.
- Combine all ingredients for the dressing until well mixed. (It takes a bit to get the preserves to melt into the yogurt).
- Fold dressing into the salad and serve over red leaf lettuce.
- For an additional point per serving garnish the salad with a tablespoon of slivered almonds.
- Enjoy.
