Turkey and Green Bean Salad

By Fiona Haynes, About.com

This tasty salad can be made with either chicken or turkey. It's a great way of using leftovers after a holiday meal. Use celery instead of bell pepper if you like, or add dried cranberries or toasted almonds to add sweetness or crunch.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain fat free yogurt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • 2 cups cooked white-meat turkey, diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation:
Place green beans in a pot of boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and rinse with cold water.
