Makes 2 servings
Ingredients
1 large turkey tender
Olive oil
2 5oz bag Spring Mix Salad Greens
1 small heirloom tomato, cut into wedges
2 or 3 thin slices red onion, cut in half
½ cup cup scored, halved and sliced cucumber
2 tablespoons Craisins
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
A couple handfuls of cooked crispy shoestring French Fries
Ranch dressing
Directions
Prepare the grill to cook directly over medium heat. Brush the turkey tender with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook, flipping occasionally for 1-12 minutes until it is golden brown and has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Set aside to rest.
Toss the salad green in a large bowl. Cut the tomato into eight wedges and place them around the sides of the greens. Top the greens with the onion, breaking the slices apart. Top with an even sprinkling of the cucumber and a sprinkling of Craisins. Spread the cheese evenly over the salad. Slice the turkey thinly and lay it nicely on top of the salad and finally top the whole salad with the crispy French fries. Serve with the Ranch dressing on the side.
