Mexican Turkey Salad

Ingredients


Directions

  1. In a large bowl, place turkey, corn, beans, bell peppers and jicama. Gently toss until well mixed and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil and lime juice. Mix in salsa. Add red pepper sauce if desired. Add enough water to thin consistency so dressing can be thinly drizzled over salad. Transfer to serving pitcher.
  3. Drizzle dressing over turkey mixture, tossing to coat salad ingredients evenly.
  4. Cover and chill 1 to 3 hours so flavors can meld. Bring to room temperature and check seasoning before serving. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Drain off any excess dressing. Place in serving bowl. Sprinkle top of salad with cheese (if using) and cilantro. Serve with baked tortilla chips, if desired.
