Spinach-and-Turkey Salad with Cucumber-and-Feta Dressing Recipe

  • 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, and seeded
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 1/2 pounds spinach, stems removed and leaves washed well
  • 1 1/2 pounds cooked turkey, cut into approximately 1-by-1/4-by-1/4-inch strips
  • 2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cucumber half, the yogurt, oil, vinegar, dill, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Blend or process until smooth. Chop the remaining cucumber and add to the blender or food processor along with the feta. Pulse once or twice just to combine.
