Turkey-Potato Salad with

Green Olive Vinaigrette

The potatoes in this salad sop up the rich, sharp taste of the green olives in the vinaigrette. The smoked turkey also plays nicely off the flavorful dressing. Buy a thick slice of smoked turkey at the deli counter and cut it into cubes or slices for this salad.

Serves 4 as an entrée

1/2 pound new potatoes

2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

Salt

2 cups cubed smoked white meat turkey

1 cucumber, peeled and sliced

1 red or green bell pepper, seeded and diced

1 cup halved grape tomatoes

1 cup halved seedless red grapes

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, or 2 tablespoons dried

Black pepper

Green Olive Vinaigrette

8 cups baby spinach or arugula

Cover the potatoes with cold salted water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender when pierced with a small knife, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on size. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then peel and cut into slices. Transfer the warm slices to a bowl, sprinkling each layer with vinegar and salt to taste. Let cool.

Add the turkey, cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, grapes, celery, onion, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and vinaigrette to the potatoes and toss gently. Add the spinach or arugula, toss, and serve. Or serve the potato mixture on top of the greens.
