Saltstack - Preview Highstate

Is there a way to preview what files will be served to a minion on a state.highstate? I know that you can run state.show_highstate, but that is not the output I am looking for. For example, inside /path/to/recurse/dir/ I have foo.txt and bar.txt and in my sls file I have

/path/to/recurse/dir/:
  file.recurse:
    - source: salt://dir/

I would like to run state.preview_highstate and it would show me the contents of foo.txt and bar.txt. Does anyone know how to go about this without just running state.highstate?

If you are able to run the state on the minion but just don't want to apply any changes you can append the test=True to your command:

salt '*' state.highstate test=True

This will run the highstate on the minion but will not make any changes to the system. Changes that would be applied are shown in yellow.
