You could make this salad using pasta or potatoes, chicken instead of turkey and whatever vegetables or salad greens you have to hand.  This is a fab salad that you can serve hot or cold, great for picnics or a speedy weeknight supper.  This post is an entry for BritMums Summer Turkey Recipe Challenge in association with Lean on Turkey.

  1. Good Afternoon Michelle, This looks like a lovely evening meal. I like the thought of the turkey and vegetables being mixed with potatoes. I think I would also mix these ingredients with bulgar wheat.
    Lovely recipe.
    Best Wishes

    1. What a fab suggestion Daphne, I'll have to give that a go. I think I have some bulgar wheat in the depths of my store cupboard.
