Donna's Red, White & Bleu Salad and Turkey Vegetable Burritos

Hello Everyone!
After a full working day, we were ready for the weekend and wanted to just relax at home.  So I opened the refrigerator to see what I might be able to pull together quickly that was still nutritious.  Since I had made a mid-week trip to our local farmer's market, I had some fresh summer fruits and vegetables to pick from.  These dishes are what I came up with:  Donna's Red, White and Bleu Salad and Donna's Turkey Vegetable Burritos.  I hope you enjoy them and I'm always looking forward to your comments!  Best, Donna:
