Ever scarfed down a Garbage Salad? I’m sure you have; there’s nothing like a fridge full of leftovers post-holiday, with Pinterest inspiration looking bleak and no desire to get back in the kitchen anytime soon. Well in the Rye household, we always eagerly welcome our post-Thanksgiving tradition of a Garbage Salad after we’re nice and stuffed from the day before.
In true Garbage Salad form, we literally throw all of our Thanksgiving leftovers into a salad for the perfect light meal (so we’re nice and spry for all of the Black Friday shopping!). There’s no exact recipe or formula for our Garbage Salad, but I always enjoy the hints of butternut squash and pomegranate seeds among fresh arugula (always fresh arugula), hard-boiled eggs and almond slivers. So grab a leftover roll and top with any dressing of your choice, voila.
From the entire WOM team, I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving…one that even requires you to pull out the stretchy pants and throw the calorie count out the window! Truly, MKR
