Instructions:
-
Begin by bringing 2 quarts of water to a vigorous boil in a large pot.
-
While the water is heating, prepare the potatoes by washing them thoroughly and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
-
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the potato pieces to the pot and allow them to cook until they are just tender, which should take approximately 15 minutes.
-
After the potatoes have cooked for about 15 minutes, add the green beans and corn to the pot with the potatoes and continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes.
-
Once the vegetables are cooked, drain them in a colander and then transfer them to a large salad bowl.
-
While the vegetables are still warm, add the sliced red onion and the smoked turkey to the bowl with the vegetables.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Whisk the ingredients together until the salt has completely dissolved.
-
Add the Dijon mustard and dried sweet basil leaves to the bowl with the vinegar mixture, and whisk everything together until well combined.
-
Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the vinegar mixture while whisking continuously. Continue to whisk until the oil and vinegar have emulsified to form a smooth dressing.
-
Once the dressing is ready, pour it over the salad in the bowl, and gently toss everything together until the vegetables and turkey are evenly coated in the dressing.
-
Serve the smoked turkey salad immediately as a delicious and nutritious one-dish meal, perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Enjoy!
