Ingredients

  • 25g walnuts, pieces
  • 25g sugar
  • 455g red leaf lettuce, torn into small pieces
  • 1 apple, chopped (any sweet variety)
  • 170g smoked turkey breast, cut into 1-inch 3cm pieces

  • Dressing:60mL fresh lemon juice
  • 30mL olive oil
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1g curry powder

  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Prepare dressing: In a jar or small bowl, mix together lemon juice, oil, garlic, curry powder, salt and pepper.
