Smoked turkey breast is one of the most versatile, healthy and long-lasting ingredient you may find.
It's high in protein, and add a fantastic smoked flavor to your recipes.

Today's chopped salad is, consequently, a departure from your average leafy green salad, made instead with chunky, crunchy chopped vegetables.
Sweet sugar snap peas and bitter red chicory develop a tasty contrast and are tossed with a mayonnaise, capers, and tuna dressing for a healthy and flavorful side dish.
This easy salad can be made in advance and enjoyed at room temperature for picnics, cookouts or just a healthy brown bag lunch.

Here are ingredients for the 4-serving recipe:

 

100 g sugar snap peas
200 g red chicory
150 g smoked turkey breast
1 egg

30 g canned tuna in EVO oil
10 capers
20 g mayonnaise
