Pan fried Turkey Breast Salad with Fresh Fruits and Veggies

The hubby came home from the Yankee game today and was famished. The Braves won, so he needed a little pick me up. I was in the studio taking photos for my summer jam, so as not to waste the fruits I used in the photo shoot I put them in his salad.

I think this would be a perfect summer salad, if anyone is look for a change.
