Turkey Crunch Salad (Low-Carb)
My new favorite easy lunch — light, crunchy, packed with protein, and full of Mediterranean flavor. I didn’t measure much — just eyeballed everything!
Ingredients
1 bag shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
½ cucumber, diced
½ red bell pepper, chopped
¼ red onion, finely diced
½ cup chopped deli turkey or grilled chicken breast
¼ cup sliced black olives
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (or mozzarella if you prefer)
1 small handful cherry tomatoes, halved
1–2 tbsp banana peppers or pepperoncinis for a little kick
Sprinkle of oregano or Italian seasoning
Dressing
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp light mayo (for creaminess)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Whisk everything together until creamy and smooth.
How I Made It
Toss all the veggies, meat, and cheese in a big bowl.
Drizzle the dressing over and toss again until everything’s lightly coated.
Chill for about 10 minutes before serving so the flavors blend.
Add a little more feta or pepperoncinis on top if you like that salty-spicy bite.
