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.

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
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 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.

Stir together mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice and seasoning in a large bowl. Add green beans, turkey, red pepper and parsley. Toss well to coat.

Serves 4.
