"You can have this filling salad ready in just 15 minutes, making it a no-brainer for weekday lunches. Use our Slow-Cooker Turkey Breast recipe to get the protein ready and on hand for this hearty salad. Unlike roasting, slow-cooking locks in moisture, creating juicy and flavorful meat, which is so important when cooking a healthier, leaner protein like turkey breast. If not kept under the correct conditions with proper pampering, it becomes dry and tough. The creamy blue cheese-buttermilk dressing that accompanies this crisp wedge salad combines buttermilk, garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, blue cheese, and paprika for a flavorful topping to this simple salad of just iceberg lettuce, tomato, red onion, and turkey (in lieu of the usual crumbled bacon). This recipe makes for a perfect lunchtime or dinner salad...."
