The Summer of Salads Bonus: Repurpose your leftovers.
Bonus Salad:
Greek Pasta Salad with Chicken, Fat Free Feta Cheese, and Roasted Vegetables.
A few days ago, I cooked some chicken breasts and roasted a variety of vegetables. Instead of throwing it away like some people do whom don’t like leftovers or feel as if they are tired of eating the same thing, I repurposed my leftovers and created a new salad dish.
I boiled some whole wheat penne pasta, cut the chicken breasts into chunks, and then I tossed everything together along with my roasted veggies, fat free feta cheese, reduced sodium black olives and Italian dressing. Voila! Lunch or Dinner.
You can use a store bought Italian dressing that you have on hand or make one like I did. Shrimp works great in this pasta salad too or if you’re a vegetarian, don’t add the meat. Use all of your leftover veggies or add in some tofu.
Not only did I save money, I didn’t waste any food and I created a new dish that I can have for lunch, dinner or take to my next party or pot luck gathering.
