I’d love to say this salad came to me in a whirl of fabulous brainstorming, but alas it originated out of a necessity to use fruit that was going to spoil, and the laziness of not wanting to dirty another dish. Enter a cutting board, ripe peaches and tomatoes, and leftover mozzarella. Not super original,…

Steak Salad
This is a super easy and delicious salad to make for a filling lunch or casual dinner. We had some leftover steaks from the other night, and figured we’d try to add a little pizzazz to our plain ol’ Caesar-ish salad. I say -ish because we didn’t have a traditional Caesar dressing but we did…
German Potato Salad

However, if you don’t have leftover chicken picatta, but you have leftover chicken you can still make a delicious chicken…
