Salad with Potatoes, Avocado and Turkey

Spring greens with turkey and avocado

It’s definitely getting to be salad season at our house.

I always make the salad dressings – that helps keep the flavor high and the calories low – or lower, anyway.

Plus I know what the ingredients are,

I used turkey cutlets for this, but chicken would work as well, or ham.

You can do the potatoes and turkey in a skillet or on the barbecue grill.  The time is about the same. 

Use a mix of spring greens if you can.
