This is a colorful salad. But as good as it looks, it is the taste that counts. With the hint of garlic and the zest of the vinegar and lemon juice this will really wake up your senses. The turkey and the rest of the ingredients will balance out all the flavors.
1 lb. Kosher cooked turkey, cut into medium size pieces or cooked chicken.
Prepare the salad dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the wine vinegar, lemon juice oil, salt and pepper. If you think you might need the sugar add a little at a time until you are satisfied with the taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Rub the garlic inside of a large bowl. Discard garlic when done. Add the salad greens, turkey and tomatoes, If making it without meat or poultry add the cheese now. Lightly toss the salad and add the dressing, a little at a time until the salad is coated to your linking. Sprinkle the chopped egg over the top and do the same with the parsley. Serve.
…The Backstory continues: Just about anything you have on hand can be fashioned into a Chef’s Salad, providing you are using freshly prepared meats, fresh cheeses or crisp, fresh produce. Be creative and toss together whatever you like for a fast lunch. Add some crusty bread and any icy beverage and you are good to go. To make this Kosher, the cheese should be eliminated. It is your choice. Either way this is a delicious and refreshing salad.
