Call it an appetizer Call it an awesome dip or salad. Call it whatever you want. This recipe is so refreshing and perfect for a snack or a lunch.
Fresh vibrant vegetables set off by a bright lemon dressing.
This goes together quickly, and tastes even better if it has a bit to sit and marinate in the fridge.
I asked my deli for a 1/4″ thick slice of of natural (i.e. no fillers or gluten!) smoked turkey, this made cubing easy!
- ½ pound smoked turkey, cut into ¼” cubes
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup blanched, chopped green beans
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons finely diced shallots or fresh Spring onions (more if you like raw onion)
- 2 teaspoons dried basil OR 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (I didn’t have any on hand yet!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise of choice (optional), you can make your own too!
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Place all the ingredients together in a bowl and toss.
- Serve with Belgian endive spears, Romain, butter lettuce, celery, or your favorite crackers.

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
This is what I’m talking about lady! Simple and beautiful! Love it.
This looks delicious! I crave salads this time of year. TFS!

After my first bite, I seriously wanted to dance a little jig. This recipe is so up my alley and I love how simple and healthy it is. The endive is really a yummy touch, btw. I liked it better than the rice crackers! I also used Applegate pre-sliced smoked turkey and that worked great too!
Yes, I like the added crunch of the endive too, I think romain would be good too! Glad you liked it, such a party of flavors….
What a wonderful salad! I love the bright, fresh flavours in the dressing as well.
I am so glad I found your blog. I love how light and healthy your recipes are. Please share this salad today on foodie friday. I will subscribe.
