A high-protein, heart-healthy salad featuring roasted turkey breast, creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and a zesty lime dressing. Ready in 15 minutes.
For the Salad:
• 1 lb cooked turkey breast, cubed
• 2 ripe avocados, diced
• 1 large cucumber, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
For the Vinaigrette:
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

To keep your avocado bright and prevent browning, toss the diced avocado in a squeeze of lime juice before adding it to the bowl. It locks in the color and brightens the flavor.

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free.
Due to the avocado, this is best eaten fresh. If you must store it, add the avocado right before serving.
