Tasty Tuesday

.....Monday and Tuesday nights' dinners and a challenge for a
leftover thread!

This is a picture of the salad we had last night for dinner. We had eaten kind of heavily Sunday
afternoon----- things we don't ordinarily eat---- so my husband asked for something lighter and I agreed.

There were leftover salads---three bean and marinated cucumber/onion salad.

I changed the menu from what I was going to make just slightly.

This was Monday's dinner:

• I put some of the three bean salad on top of  Romaine lettuce and
  shredded  green cabbage pouring the marinade from both salads over the leaves. 
• I sliced and  sauteed the mushrooms, with white onion slivers and the broccoli
• I placed the marinated cucumbers around the edges of the salad.
• I soaked some hardened sour dough bread in the marinades and then added them to the saute pan to soften and get warm
• On the very top I added a small dollop of leftover deviled egg filling. 

It was a nice, light dinner.

Tonight:

• I cooked whole grain, organic pasta and drained it
• added the last of the sour cream 
• broke up and added some cooked fish
• all  the rest of the three bean salad with olives was added 
• added the last  2 ounce piece of mozzarella. 
• it was a little boring so I added some salsa---not enough to change the light color
  of the dish, just enough for some zip! 

There is enough left over to add, at the last minute, to steamy chicken soup.

I will start a new thread on Thursday.
