Tips: • If dressing is too thick for your liking add 2 tbsp of milk to thin it out. • For a different flavour profile try cooked ham instead of turkey. • Swap out the pasta for an additional 2 cups of Romaine lettuce for a low-carb option. • This salad can easily be portioned out and assembled in individual salad bowls for a quick family meal.
