This is as easy-to-make lightened-up version on cobb salad, using corn, honeydew melon, and roasted turkey breast from you grocery deli department. A tip for shopping for turkey breast from your deli, is to ask for a piece cut from a whole store-roasted breast instead of the pressed deli-meat variety. Recipe comes from Good Housekeeping.

12 ounces deli peppered turkey breast, cut into 1/2-inch chunks |
1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3-4 ears) |
1 lb honeydew melon, cut into 1/2- inch chunks (i use the container of honeydue melon pieces that i find in my local store) |
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled |
1 avocado, peeled and cut into 1/- inch chunks |
Directions:
1. In small skillet, cook bacon on medium until browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain; crumble when cool.
