This salad has a real clean out the fridge vibe - perfect for getting creative with food waste prevention!

If you don’t have all these ingredients, there are plenty of simple swaps that would taste just as good.

  • Veggies - some other good options are matchstick carrots, chopped bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, chopped radish, shredded kale. NOTE: If you are using frozen veggies, chop larger ones like broccoli or cauliflower before mixing in.

  • Frozen edamame - any kind of canned beans would also work here.

  • Dressing - a Greek yogurt ranch or Caesar dressing would also be delish.

  • Dill weed - you could also do (dried or fresh chopped) basil, parsley, thyme, chives.
