Recipe: Harvest Salad With Turkey and Apples

Serves 6.

Note: Crispy, sweet apples and a low-fat creamy dressing makes this salad a family favorite, especially with younger diners. The salad is tossed with just half of the dressing, to keep the lettuce from getting too drenched, and the rest is served on the side for those who want a bit more. From Meredith Deeds.

• 1/3 c. low-fat mayonnaise

• 1/3 c. nonfat plain Greek yogurt

• 1/4 c. reduced-fat sour cream

• 2 green onions, finely chopped

• 3 tbsp. cider vinegar

• 1 tbsp. honey, plus more to taste

• 1/4 tsp. salt

• Black pepper to taste

• 1/4 c. chopped walnuts

• 4 c. baby spinach, or torn spinach leaves

• 3/4 lb. shredded roasted turkey breast

• 2 apples, preferably Fuji, peeled and thinly sliced

• 1/2 c. mild Cheddar, cut into matchsticks

Directions

To prepare dressing: Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, sour cream, green onion, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and black pepper in a bowl until well blended.

Combine spinach and Boston lettuce in a large bowl; toss gently to mix. Add half of the dressing and toss to coat lightly. Divide the greens among 6 plates and top with turkey, apples, cheese and walnuts. Serve immediately with remaining dressing on the side.
