Turkey Chef Salad
"This is a recipe I received from my Healthy Foods daily email subscription. It's not your typical Chef Salad but it has so many great ingredients you don't even miss the fat. Other than the Dressing I didn't stay true to the measurements, I just used what I thought was appropriate for my tastes and it came out great. I don't think you can really go wrong. The fresh basil gives it great flavor."

Simply amazing! The goat cheese accents the other flavors beautifully. I'll admit, I took a shortcut and used store-bought Italian dressing.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I work from home as owner of a successful startup company and one of favorite ways to relax is in the kitchen cooking with a glass of wine. I love collecting and trying recipes. We have a huge family and one of my favorite things to do is having everyone over for huge family meals - everyone looks forward to the chance to get together and eat way too much. I do a lot of themed gatherings just for fun (example: Father's Day Fajita Fiesta with Fajita's, Queso, Guacamole, Spanish Rice, Beans, homemade tortilla's and margaritas). I'm Italian but I'm a Texas native and I love all kinds of foods from Greek to Mexican.
