Ingredients 

2 slices uncured turkey bacon (look for brands with 35 calories per slice)

3 slices (3 oz) reduced sodium turkey breast, rolled up and sliced

1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved

2 cups salad greens

1/4 avocado, diced

For the Greek yogurt balsamic vinaigrette:

1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt

3/4 tsp honey or sorghum syrup

Salt and pepper, to taste

How to make it 

Cook turkey bacon in microwave between paper towels, according to package directions.

Roll up turkey slices into a tube shape and cut in even pieces so they look like spirals when turned on their side.

Fill a bowl with chopped salad greens. Add turkey, tomatoes, crumbled turkey bacon, and diced avocado.

Drizzle with 1-2Tbsp of dressing, and save the remainder of the recipe for another salad. To save even more time, make dressing in advance.
