Summertime - the living is user friendly - or it should be! Meals are lighter, and usually taken outdoors. Appetites are not receptive to hot, heavy food, and cooking measure should be at a minimum. So whats the solution - when you come home after a days work, or instant out with the family at the beach or the zoo? You want something quick, tasty, cool and refreshing, but it should satisfy those hunger pangs. Summertime salads - fit right into summertime activities and fun.

TASTY TURKEY DINNER SALAD-
1-1/2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced in half
1 10-1/2 ozs. might mandarin orange sections
1-1/2 cups seedless green or red grapes, or a combination of both
2 heads Belgian endive, Bibb, iceberg, or Boston lettuce, or a combination
16 ozs. sliced fully cooked smoked turkey breast (from the deli) or
honey roasted turkey
Creamy ranch or buttermilk dressing

Prepare strawberries and drain mandarin oranges. Wash grapes and dry with paper toweling. In a mixing bowl, combine the fruit. Set aside.
Wash, separate the lettuce leaves, and pat dry. Line individual salad plates with the lettuce. Arrange the turkey slices on top of the lettuce leaves, and spoon the fruit on top of the turkey. You can also place the turkey on one side of the plate and the fruit on the other, if you prefer. Spoon your choice of dressing across both the turkey and the fruit.
Sprinkle with the almonds and serve.
Some warm rolls, ice-cold lemonade, and chocolate brownies - you have a great, quick and satisfying meal.
