The Ultimate Garbage Salad

Dinner: something that doesn't always exist when I have to work starting at 5 pm on a Tuesday night. So instead of waiting for the 11 pm end of my shift to be the starting point at which I take my first bite for the night, I'm going to pack something I can nibble on in between greeting and serving tables. I call it, "The Ultimate Garbage Salad."Not quite the appealing name I had hoped for, but the taste will definitely make up for it.

I previously described garbage salad in an earlier post, but to those of you who haven't seen that post, I'll re-describe it now. I love tons of different flavors and textures in my salads, aka, I need a ton of THINGS in my salad. These things range from different vegetables, to pastas, to fruits, etc, basically whatever's sitting in my fridge at the time. And so, the clutter in my fridge ultimately helped create a beautiful spectacle of a salad I can't wait to dig into as soon as the first rumble in my stomach hits.
