Smoked Turkey & Apple Salad

Source: Our Wisconsin Magazine

This salad features a unique combo of ingredients and a Dijon dressing.
Any variety of apple works, but I like Galas.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 c. watercress greens (see Note)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz. smoked turkey, julienned (from Deli)
  • 2 medium apples, sliced thin (your favorite)
  • 1/3 c. chopped walnuts, toasted.

Dijon Dressing

  • 5 Tbls. olive oil
  • 2 Tbls. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbls. Dijon mustard
  • 1 t. lemon-pepper seasoning
  • ½ t. salt, optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, or jar with tight fitting lid, whisk or shake dressing ingredients until well blended.

Place watercress on a platter or divide among individual plates. Top with carrot, tomatoes, turkey and apples. Drizzle with dressing; sprinkle with walnuts and serve.

NOTE: Makes 6-8 servings

Romaine or leaf lettuce can be used instead of watercress, or try a combination of greens.
