Leftovers Maybe?

How was your Easter? Is your belly full of chocolate? How about that Easter dinner?

It's the morning after and you're just hoping you have enough leftovers so you don't have to cook tonight. Or, maybe, you ate so many yummy treats that you want something quick, simple and healthy. Or, maybe, it's a little from Column A and a little from Column B. So, I'm keeping this post short and sweet.

Salad. You usually can't go wrong with a salad. You can have it on your own or as a side. Or you could even just cut up some of your leftover meat and throw it in.  Any way you look at it, a salad is a simple option when you just don't feel like cooking.

Evergreen Salad

Ingredients:
lettuce                          1 green apple             1/2 c. toasted pecans          1/2 c. pine nuts       3/4 c. dried cranberries

Dressing:                      1/2 c. cider vinegar     2 tsp. dijon mustard            1/4 c. orange juice
3/4 c. olive oil                1 tbsp. honey

Directions:

1. Use as much lettuce in your salad as you want - I'm not a huge fan, but I tend to use romaine.
2. Chop the apple.
3. Mix the lettuce, apple, pecans, pine nuts and dried cranberries in a bowl.
4. Mix the dressing ingredients together and drizzle over salad.
5. Serve.

I hope the Easter Bunny was good to all of you. As always, have fun!
