Zesty Turkey & Garden Herb Salad with Lemon-Olive Oil Dressing
0 mins
Easy
This light, protein-packed salad brings fresh vitality to your midday meal. It celebrates the clean, bright flavors of garden vegetables and tender turkey, perfectly bound by a golden olive oil vinaigrette.
A crisp, high-protein lunch that balances lean turkey with heart-healthy fats. Ready in minutes, this salad offers a satisfying crunch without the heavy calories of traditional dressings.
To keep your salad crisp for meal prep, store the dressing separately and add it only right before eating. This keeps the spinach from wilting and the cucumbers at peak texture.
