I love making salads out of whatever random ingredients I have in the fridge. Sometimes I try to think of a theme or some kind of standard dish that I can re-mix into a salad. When I scoured the fridge today for lettuce-topping ingredients, I came out with what looked like the makings of a classic club sandwich. This salad was REALLY tasty. I'll definitely make this again!
Turkey Club Salad
Yield: Approximately 1 servings.

Ingredients
2 slices of bacon
2 cups mixed baby lettuces
4oz Applegate Farms Organic Roasted Turkey (or fresh if you have it!)
1/4 of an avocado, cut into chunks
thinly sliced red onion – to taste
1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Preparation
Cook the bacon- I normally bake mine at 375 degrees in an oven on a rack over a cookie sheet for around 30 minutes, but for the purpose of a quick lunch, I cut and then pan fried these slices.
Layer the ingredients over salad greens and serve topped with the olive oil and lemon. Add sea salt and pepper to taste.

Variations
Try this salad with chicken or steak instead of turkey.
Add chopped or cherry tomatoes.
If you make your own homemade mayonnaise, create a creamy dressing to use over the salad with the mayo, some extra lemon juice and chives.
Enjoy & be well!

Thanks, Richard- it really WAS!!! I might make it again tomorrow!
I haven't been in the mood for salads with all the cold weather here in Chicago but this looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I was just about to make lunch when I checked twitter and found this. So I made it! Delicious! My only avocado isn't ripe yet though. Ah well. Thanks!
