Salad with Turkey, Mushrooms and Potatoes
Menu Plan for the week of June 28, 2013: Day 4 Recipes
Salad with Turkey, Mushrooms and Potatoes
Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for instructions
The key to using less dressing and still having great salads is to add a bit to just the lettuce and toss very well to distribute on all the leaves. That spreads the flavors.
Salad with Turkey, Mushrooms and Potatoes Preparation, cooking time: 30 minutesThis is a colorful summer salad, with a relatively 'light' dressing. You can do the potatoes and turkey in a skillet or on the barbecue grill. The time is about the same. Use a mix of greens if you can.
10oz (300gr) turkey cutlets
2 tbs Teriyaki marinade or sauce
2 medium potatoes, (10oz, 300gr)
4 tsp olive oil, divided
1 onion
1/2 orange bell pepper
4oz (120gr) mushrooms
1 tsp soy sauce
1 avocado
1/2 cup (3oz, 90gr) cherry tomatoes
lettuce for 2 main meal salads
Teriyaki Vinaigrette
1 tbs Teriyaki sauce
1 tbs sherry vinegar
1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
2 tsp walnut or sesame oil
1 tbs good olive oil
Potatoes: Cut potatoes into bite size pieces and coat with 2 tsp olive oil. Either cook in a pan on the barbecue if you are using, or sauté in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until done and lightly browned, 20 - 25 minutes.
Turkey: Put turkey on a plate and spoon Teriyaki marinade over both sides. Cook on barbecue grill for 4 - 6 minutes per side (depending on thickness) or sauté in nonstick skillet for the same amount of time. Remove and slice into strips.
The Vegetables: Slice onion and pepper. Trim and slice mushrooms. Heat 2 tsp oil in medium skillet. Add pepper, onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, soy sauce and sauté 5 minutes longer, until vegetables are crisp tender.
Vinaigrette: Put all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
The rest: Prepare lettuce, rinse and spin dry if needed. Slice avocado. Cut tomatoes in half
To assemble: Add half of the vinaigrette to the lettuce and toss well to coat. Add the remaining ingredients and toss gently to combine. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette and serve.
