  • Olive Oil (3 tbsp): Forms the base of the dressing.
  • Lemon Juice (2 tbsp): Adds tanginess and freshness.
  • Honey (1 tsp): Balances the acidity with a touch of sweetness.
  • Dijon Mustard (1 tsp): Adds depth to the flavor.
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste): For seasoning.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 2: Assemble the salad

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and shredded turkey. Toss gently to mix.

Step 3: Add the dressing

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss again to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 4: Garnish and serve

Sprinkle the salad with toasted nuts for added crunch, if desired. Serve immediately as a light main course or a side dish.
