Tuna Salad CLEAN recipe

My husband and I were doing a "7 day clean eating cleanse" about a month ago.  We didn't do any special "juice only" or things like that.  I found a list of clean foods and foods to avoid.  So we did that instead so there was actually food to eat...because the list honestly had a lot of food on it!  Here's the list!  I made a menu using this as my guide.  To be honest..my husband didn't make it past two days..but I've held strong and kept buying things and making menus and foods based off this list. We do add in certain things..like extra lean ground turkey..once a week or once every two weeks, and I add a little bit of dressing to my salads sometimes instead of the clean eating ones.  But really, I'm still following this for my family!

This was our lunch day one.  Just a simple salad, romaine lettuce, spinach, red peppers, cranberries, and tomatoes, and I put in a can of tuna for some protein.  The dressing is just a mixture of honey and dijon mustard (made from all natural ingredients). I mixed it together to my liking then poured it on the salad.  It was delicious and filling!

Southwestern Turkey Salad

As I was searching the Biggest Loser website I came across this Southwestern Turkey Salad and knew I had to give it a shot!  I doubled it..here's my doubled version!

Dressing:

1 cup of Greek-style vanilla yogurt
4 tablespoons of BBQ sauce (I used honey BBQ sauce)
Juice of 1/2 a lime
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander

Turkey:

Olive oil
1/2 a diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 lb. boneless, skinless turkey..(I used Jennie-O turkey ham), cut into 1/2 inch thick strips or cubes
craisins

Directions:

~In bowl combine yogurt, BBQ sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and coriander.  Mix well. Set aside.

~Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 4 minutes.  Add garlic and cook almost 1 minute.  Add turkey strips and cook another 4 minutes.  

~Add the turkey mixture to the dressing mixture. Add craisins.  Stir well.

~We filled our plates with a bed of romaine lettuce then topped with a spoonful of the turkey/dressing mixture.  

The kids really enjoyed this one...me..not so much!  It actually tasted great but I am just a really picky meat person.  I don't care much for turkey and I'm so-so about ham..so a turkey ham was pretty low on my list of yummy foods! :D  If you like turkey you should love this one! I really love the flavors and would make some of the dressing just to put on my lunch salads each day!  Yum!!  Most of the kids had seconds!  We were a bit weary at first because the lettuce looks pretty bland...but if you eat a meat and lettuce in a bite or mix it well on your plate it's the perfect amount of sauce for it all!!  The kids definitely wanted this one in our recipe book!!!  

Have a happy day~Kasey
