Notes

Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste!
For a milder flavor, reduce the chili powder, or swap out the turkey for grilled chicken or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
This salad can be easily stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days, but for best freshness, consider adding the dressing just before serving.
Get creative with your additions and enjoy experimenting with different flavors!
