Turkey Cobb Salad

Turkey Cobb Salad

Everyone is always looking for a healthy salad. I like to create salads that are going to sustain through the afternoon, because my tummy always starts to grumble around 3-4pm, who else is with me? In order to prevent the loud afternoon grumbles, I need to pack protein into my salad.

This salad is loaded with roasted turkey, turkey bacon, eggs, avocado and tomatoes. A lot of protein! Smokey flavour from the turkey and turkey bacon, creaminess from the egg and avocado and acidity from the tomato. All topped with a tangy Dijon mustard vinaigrette. Trust me, this will attack those tummy grumbles.

So, gather up the ingredients and get chopping because this salad is worth gossiping about!
