Notes

Looking to mix it up? You can easily substitute the turkey with grilled chicken or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
Don’t stress about the dressing—feel free to add extra herbs like dill or parsley for even more flavor.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Just keep the dressing separate until you're ready to eat to maintain the salad's freshness.
Enjoy making this refreshing salad your own!
