“Kitchen Sink” Salad

While bidding our final adieu to our abode.  We needed to empty the fridge and pantry.  What better time than this to get creative and make what I call “Kitchen Sink” Salad!

Sometimes our salads look like we threw everything but the kitchen sink in our bowl!  That’s okay, it’s always delicious.  And yes, sometimes I am referred to as the “Garbage Disposal” in our house.    I hate to waste and let things spoil!  Since we will be vacating our abode permanently, it’s definitely time for a “Kitchen Sink” Salad!

When making a salad, look to see what exciting little things you have on hand to spice things up ‘cuz VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!  We do this once a week at our house.  Go through the fridge and use up what is close to expiring, rotate your usuals for what may become a “science project” if not used soon.  Be creative, be daring and try something new.

Try lots of chopped fresh herbs * sprouts * lemon, orange & lime zest * walnuts * pine nuts * pecans * apple chunks * pomegranate seeds * orange slices * dried cherries, cranberries & blueberries * avocados * beets * mushrooms * grated carrots * jicama * purple cabbage * artichoke hearts * olives, etc.  The possibilities are endless!

This is fun!  Think of it as your own scavenger hunt!  And you’ll be doing dual duty by cleaning out the fridge and pantry!

Eat up!
