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!

Beautiful meal!! Thanks for sharing with Hearth and Soul!!
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.
Thanks Diane, I happy to have you! Shared!
What a wonderful salad! I love the bright, fresh flavours in the dressing as well.
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….
This looks delicious! I crave salads this time of year. TFS!
