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.
