On those late summer nights when dinner time has come and
gone and you are drawing a blank on what to feed your family, don’t head for
the drive thru! Try a home salad bar.
A home salad bar is a perfect way to use up your
leftovers. Fill a main bowl with lettuce
or any type of greens that you have on hand, baby spinach, romaine, arugula and
the like. Chop up leftover chicken,
steak or shrimp and put it in a bowl.
Fill other bowls with cheeses, nuts, fruit, chopped onion, chopped peppers,
carrots, celery…you name it. Anything
goes. For your kids you can add tortilla
strips and ranch dressing.
The great thing about a salad bar, everyone gets to create
their own! You can easily stick to your
plan with protein and veggies. It is
also a great way to make sure your family eats their veggies. So clean out the fridge tonight and have
Salad for dinner.
