Taco Tuesday Salad
2 lbs. organic 93/7 ground turkey
2 tbsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium pan, sauté the turkey on medium-low until cooked gently but thoroughly with the extra virgin olive oil. Add lime juice, cayenne powder (or paprika), oregano, and salt. Add more seasoning if you wish and play around with flavors!
Lay a bed with all of the salad ingredients, starting with the lettuce. Add a suitable portion of turkey on top.
To make the dressing: Combine the avocado, MCT oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, cucumber, cilantro and salt in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Drizzle with dressing.

Don’t forget to add you toppings! I added more cilantro which is sooooo good for liver detoxification, and some salsa with a few cassava chips for garnish.
