Directions

  1. Rinse and dry all fresh produce.
  2. Mince the garlic and capers, then whisk them into the plain Greek yogurt with ketchup, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to form the dressing; set aside.
  3. Halve the grape tomatoes and arrange them on your serving plates.
  4. Trim the green onions and cut them into 1/4-inch pieces; scatter them over the tomatoes.
  5. Halve and pit the avocado, scoop the flesh from the skin, and add it to the plates.
  6. Coarsely grate the cheddar and sprinkle it over the tomatoes and avocado on the plates.
  7. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Mince an additional garlic clove.
  9. Add the oil to the hot skillet, then crumble in the ground turkey with the minced garlic and spices; cook until browned and crumbly, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  10. Chop or tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
  11. Build the salad by placing romaine on plates, then topping with the tomato, avocado, cheese, and turkey crumble; finish with green onions and serve with the dressing on the side.

Two tips

  • Make the dressing ahead and keep it refrigerated for up to a day.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free option, swap cheddar for extra avocado and still dress with the same sauce.
