Happy Friday!
I have today off (woo!) so I'm doing work around the house. Right now my parents are on a "we're not buying anything but milk until we eat everything in the fridge kick", which is awesome for someone who has no culinary talent what-so-ever. Boo. Well I'm too poor to go buy things and I'm out of leftovers (mom is sick and didn't cook last night. double boo.), so I took one look in the fridge and came up with this:
I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-doing-but-I'm-hungry-and-I-have-canned-chicken salad.
(appropriate title right?)
Basically, I just grabbed everything I could see that looked like salad material, threw it in a bowl, and hoped for the best. And it actually turned out to be quite delicious! The point is to use stuff you already have, but if you're culinarily challenged (yeah i made that word up) like me, here's what I did.
The I-have-no-idea-what-I'm-doing-but-I'm-hungry-and-I-have-canned-chicken salad recipe!
Ingredients:
Canned chicken
Lettuce
Cheese (I used cheddar, pepper jack, and feta)
1/2 Roma tomato
1/4 Green apple (any kind is fine)
Balsamic vinegar
Directions:
1. Wash and dry the dirty stuff (lettuce, apple, tomato)
2. Chop now clean ingredients, throw in bowl
3. Shred cheese (or use your already-shredded-from-last-nights-omelet cheese like I did!), throw in bowl
4. Open can of chicken, drain
5. Shred chicken a little and throw on salad, tupperware what you don't use!
6. Add some pepper, drizzle (or pour) balsamic vinegar, mix and devour!
If I had them I would have added: dried cranberries, walnuts, pecans, and/or sunflower seeds.
TIP: if you're going to take a picture, do it before you add the dressing. It looks weird after. ;)
Buon Appetit!

P.S. Maybe I did inherit one or two cooking genes from my mom... :)
