With a mix of Mexican-inspired flavors, this easy turkey salad is reminiscent of seven-layer dip. It’s a great appetizer for your next party or as dinner for taco night. Vidalia onions have a wonderful mild, sweet flavor which is tasty raw, but feel free to incorporate other varieties like yellow or red onions for a more pronounced onion flavor. We call for arranging the colorful chopped vegetables in neat rows on top of the lettuce and turkey, but you can simply sprinkle the veggies and cheese on top of the turkey mixture, spoon the salsa and sour cream on top, then dig in with the chips.
