Who needs a healthy salad recipe?
You do. At my house, we usually throw together whatever greens and vegetables we have on hand; add some nuts or left-over salmon, and it’s dinner! But I do have favorite combinations that we make on a regular basis. This one is probably at the top of my list. I call it: Turkey Sandwich Salad(There’s no bread in this healthy salad recipe, but it tastes like a turkey sandwich) First, make the dressing. Mix together and set aside: 1/4 cup unsweetened olive oil vinaigrette (or “Italian” dressing) 1/4 cup stoneground mustard Next, stir-fry 1/2 pound of turkey bacon, cut into small pieces. While the bacon is cooking, cut up the salad: 2 Hearts of Romaine, torn into bite-sized pieces 1/2 small onion, very thinly sliced 1 medium tomato, cut into 1/2 inch wedges 8 – 12 pitted Kalamata olives, cut in half 1 or 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup pecans Toss everything, including the dressing, together (Julia Child always said “28 times” for a thorough mixing). Divide onto two plates,
