NOTES & TIPS

There are 2 ways to serve this salad: In individual bowls: You can arrange all the ingredients separately (cooked turkey, noodles and dressing) like a buffet so that everyone can help themselves and prepare their own bowl of salad. Or you can present it in a large salad bowl to serve it. In this case, first put a layer of cooked noodles in the salad bowl, then the vegetables, turkey and peanuts and drizzle the dressing on top.  

Just before serving, pour the Coconut Balsamic on top.

Bon appétit!
