Last night I decided to use my small stock pile of leftovers and reuse them for dinner. I had chicken, zucchini and an onion, corn and red pepper relish. I decided to combine my leftovers and mix in some balsamic vinegar. I put everything under the broiler to roast. As my leftovers were cooking I grabbed some salad and apples. I also put together a quick Greek style dressing. Once my leftover medley was cooked I topped my salad with apples with the mixture and lighted dressed it. It turned out really well and it felt like I had a new meal and not just a compilation of previous meals. The apples added a nice burst of freshness. I think I may make it a weekly challange to see how creative I can get with my leftovers now!
