Last week our sister Marnie was about to head off for a couple of weeks for a trip, so brought along a salad to the family BBQ she called “everything in the bottom of my fridge salad”.  It was delicious, so today I decided to try my own version and it went a little something like this:

Everything is finely diced up:

Snow peas

Green Beans

Capsicum

Red Onion

Zucchini

Bean sprouts

Alfalfa sprouts

onion sprouts

corn kernels

Sprout combo (not sure what they are called, those knobbly ones before they sprout)

Tin of chick peas

Tin of kidney beans

Tin of 4 bean mix

Some peas

Spinach leaves

Mushrooms

Because I decided to add so many beans to mine I decided to make a dressing to put over the top.  Sometimes the kids can be a bit funny on to much of a raw kidney bean taste, so thought a nice dressing might help.

For my dressing it was a mustard vinaigrette and went a little something like this

about a tablespoon of dijon mustard

about 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar

teaspoon of sugar.

Bit of a pour of olive oil.

bit of garlic crushed

Give it all a whisk up and pour just enough over it to taste (I didn’t use all of my dressing).  Make sure you give it all a really good toss and Bob’s your Uncle.

Next on the list is some chicken meatballs to go with the salad.
