Turkey Club Salad with Garlic Dijon Dressing
Turkey, bacon, lettuce, cherry tomatoes with shredded cheese and seasoned croutons gives this salad all the flavors of a Turkey Club Sandwich. It is so easy to prepare too. None of that toasting all that bread and making a mess of your kitchen. I used a variety of homegrown leaf lettuce but you use what you like. Romaine would be delicious. Substitute deli sliced turkey for the tenderloin and you have saved yourself a step but the flavors will not be the same. I think this salad will be served often at our house this summer! Makes 2 generous lunch servings.

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise and set aside.
Fry the bacon until crisp, then drain on paper towels, crumble and set aside.
Drain all but a teaspoon of bacon fat from the pan. Over medium high heat, stir fry the turkey for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from heat, drain on paper towels and set aside.
Place 2 cups of salad greens on each of 2 plates. Top with equal amounts of of cooked turkey and crumbled bacon.
Top each salad with the tomatoes and croutons.
Drizzle over the salad dressing and finish with a good sprinkle of shredded cheese. Cover and refrigerate the remaining dressing.
