Ingredients
  

1 lb ground turkey

1 cup cooked quinoa

2 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, and kale)

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup corn (fresh or canned)

1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: crumbled feta cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Cook the Turkey: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey. Season it with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Break it into small pieces as it cooks.

    Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a zesty dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, cooked quinoa, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, corn, black beans, and chopped cilantro. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

        Add Turkey: Once the turkey is cooked, allow it to cool slightly. Then, layer the warm turkey on top of the salad mixture. This will add a nice contrast to the greens and other fresh ingredients.

          Garnish: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for added creaminess and flavor.

            Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls and enjoy immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
