This salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a great make-ahead meal for busy weeknights.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It turned out great!

I've made this salad a few times now and I always experiment with different ingredients. I've added things like black beans, corn, and chopped bell peppers.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for romaine lettuce. I think it would be better with a different type of lettuce, like iceberg or spring mix.

I think this salad would be better with grilled chicken instead of turkey.

I found the dressing to be a bit too oily. I would recommend using less oil or a different type of oil.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use more seasoning.
