This hearty and healthy Asian-inspired salad is made with cooked wheat (or brown rice), grilled turkey, sautéed sugar snap peas with green onions, and fresh vegetables. It's dressed with a sesame dressing infused with maple syrup and lemon juice, imbuing the entire dish with a rich, multifaceted flavor. A great way to use up leftovers from last night's side dish and grilled turkey (or use grilled chicken breast). This salad is juicy, crisp, and filling. Serve as a main course.
