Instructions
Start by preparing the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set the dressing aside.
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base.
Top the greens with the cooked turkey, red bell pepper slices, cucumber slices, red onion slices, and pineapple chunks.
Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds over the top for added crunch.
Drizzle the sweet-and-sour dressing over the salad just before serving, or serve the dressing on the side if preferred.
Toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing evenly coats the ingredients, and serve immediately.
