Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink Salad
This salad helps keep me from wasting things in my crisper. And when I crave veggies, it’s the meal I turn to. I’ve added chicken for a hit of protein, but any leftover meat will do, or go for a couple of hard-boiled eggs. I like to top this salad with a low-fat creamy ranch dressing, but try any dressing you like.
