The Leftover Salad

Everyone's got clumsy leftovers - not bad enough to throw out, and not tempting enough to eat them on their own. So, what do you do? Lazy that I am, I toss them all up in a salad. I had a quarter of an avocado and pepper each, and some mushroom rice from the previous night. My rice was slap-bang cold and I didn't have the time to thaw or heat it before as I was already late for work!

The Leftover Salad

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of fried mushroom rice (boiled would work great too!)
  • 1/4 of an avocado
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • 1 cup green and red peppers
  • Handful of red cabbage
  • Handful of watermelon and sesame seeds (to garnish)
  • Dash of olive oil
  • Dash of dark soy sauce
To make:
Chop up the peppers and avocado into cute little squares, the cabbage into long slivers.


Add the rice. Mix well.

Add the olive oil and soy sauce.

Garnish with watermelon and sesame seeds.

  2. Looks great...and the best part is you really don't have to measure anything.

  3. Sounds delicious! I would leave out the watermelon seeds - can't stand them! :) But I love that you've added the rice...yum!
