Turkey Club Salad with Garlic Dijon Dressing

Turkey, bacon, lettuce, cherry tomatoes with shredded cheese and seasoned croutons gives this salad all the flavors of a Turkey Club Sandwich. It is so easy to prepare too. None of that toasting all that bread and making a mess of your kitchen. I used a variety of homegrown leaf lettuce but you use what you like. Romaine would be delicious. Substitute deli sliced turkey for the tenderloin and you have saved yourself a step but the flavors will not be the same. I think this salad will be served often at our house this summer! Makes 2 generous lunch servings.
