Turkey & Peach Rice Salad
This is an amazing summer meal and would brighten up any lunchbox too! You can get your kids involved making it too, allowing them to get hands on with the veggies. You can also substitute the turkey for chicken- perfect if you have any leftover chicken to use up for another meal.

Additional Information
When we make this at home I cook the rice and turkey whilst the kids make the dressing and snap the asparagus. I then cook the asparagus and cool it before they assemble the dish.
