So this week's "It's Just Lunch" was kind of thrown together at the last minute. We were leaving Friday afternoon for Michigan and I had been working all week so I couldn't make anything for lunch. Then, we were trying to eat up all our leftovers so we wouldn't have anything going bad in our fridge while we were gone. I ended up making pasta salad with a totally made up recipe and it turned out pretty delicious! I made it with 1 C pasta salad, 1 C total of corn, peas, and carrots, and about 1/4 C of dressing that I had made for salad. Another thing that would have made it really delicious would be feta cheese, but I didn't have any at the time.
The dressing is called honey lime dressing, found on Pinterest, of course!
Honey Lime Dressing (recipe found here)
1/4 C Lime Juice
2 T Olive Oil
2 T Honey
2 T Chopped fresh cilantro (I didn't have any fresh, so I used about 1 t of dried cilantro)
1 Garlic Clove
1/8 t Paprika
Enjoy!
I know you were using up leftovers but I think tri-colored peppers would also taste yummy in this salad. Looks like you did a terrific job improvising. Enjoy your trip & post lots of pictures!
