Add turkey and next 3 ingredients; cook until turkey is browned, stirring until it crumbles. Drain, if necessary. 3) Combine turkey mixture, kidney beans, and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; toss lightly. Add 1/3 cup salsa mixture, and toss. 4) Place lettuce and endive in a large bowl; spoon turkey mixture over lettuce mixture. Top with green beans, and drizzle with remaining salsa mixture.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, flavorful ingredients. Look for ripe, colorful vegetables and crisp, firm beans. Use high-quality turkey, preferably organic or free-range.
- Don't overcook the turkey. It should be cooked through but still moist. Overcooked turkey will be dry and tough.
- Let the salad cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors meld and also prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Feel free to customize the salad to your liking. Add more or less vegetables, beans, or turkey, or swap out different types of cheese or dressing.
