This is truly the ultimate leftover salad. Follow the recipe below or use whatever ingredients are lying around in your fridge. This is a great way to use up vegetables that are starting to turn. Throw anything you want in there to make an array of textures and colours like nuts, seeds, chicken, beans, fruit and of course lots and lots of veggies.
