Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the dressing, process all the ingredients except for the olive oil and Parmesan using a hand-held, propeller-blade mixer, or whisk by hand in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. When all the oil has been incorporated, add the Parmesan and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Toss the first 6 salad ingredients together with the dressing in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Transfer the salad to chilled salad plates. Surround each serving with a ring of diced tomatoes and top with turkey breast and scallions.

Notes

  • If desired, all ingredients can be tossed together rather than composed on the plate as described above.
