Don't let anyone know you used only 4 ingredients in this lusciously creamy pasta dish. Or that you got it on the table in less than 25 minutes. We won't tell anyone either.
Mixed greens, turkey and shredded Cheddar cheese are tossed with Italian dressing and topped with vegetables and hard-cooked eggs for a satisfying salad.
I make this dish often because everyone likes it, even my pickiest eater. I tell my kids that Cowboy Chow is what cowboys eat while out on the range (wink).
