Lighten Up Those Holiday Leftovers With This Smoked Turkey Salad
Leftover Smoked Turkey Salad Recipe
Makes:
Takes:
Ingredients
Dressing
- 3 teaspoons honey
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Salad
- 4 cups lettuce
- 2 cups cabbage, red or green
- 1 apple
- ½ cup smoked turkey meat
- 1 ½ cups crumbled blue cheese
- ⅓ cup slivered cashews, almonds, or chopped walnuts
Method
- The dressing. Whisk all the ingredients together in a saucepan and warm over a low heat until the cranberries plump, about 5 minutes. Cool in the fridge.
- The salad. Toast the nuts in a dry frying pan over a medium heat until they are aromatic and start to darken. Do not let them burn; they can burn quickly if you walk away. Shred the lettuce and the cabbage, and core the apple, then cut it into bite-sized cubes. Toss everything except the hardboiled eggs together and divide into four bowls. Top with the eggs and serve.
