First let me explain how this came to be. About 11 years ago when I met my husband we really had no money, but we liked to eat and liked to eat healthy. We would go to the store or farmers market or local farms and buy veggies of all types and make what we call “Junk Salad”.
There is no recipe for this. It is made by using what you have on hand. Sometimes we used lettuce and sometimes we did not have any. We would chop celery, onion, broccoli, peas, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, deli meats, cheese, nuts, crackers, day old bread etc. We would chop and then toss all the ingredients together and we used whatever dressing we had.


I know this does not sound gourmet or fancy but we had this often and still do! The idea comes from using what you have on hand to create no waste!
