    A salsa-like salad that's great for the summer: refreshing, healthy, and delicious. Plus, it requires no cooking

    Mexican Chicken Salsa Salad from Living Well Kitchen

    I completely forgot to think of something to post today. Oh and I haven't been to the grocery store in a few weeks. Basically, I've been living off the bajillion things I have in my freezer.

    In my defense, I've been out of town a lot, so why would I go buy a bunch of fresh food just for it to sit and rot in my refrigerator.

    I absolutely hate wasting food. Which is why my freezer and my pantry are my kitchen bff's.

    Don't get me wrong... I always have some sort of fresh produce around.

    Onions last for at least a month and I have some leftover veggies from the last time I bought fresh produce. {Here are some tips for storing fresh fruits & veggies}

    This salsa or salad or whatever this is is super simple to throw together.

    I literally just threw the recipe together {including chopping everything} and then took pictures in less than 45 minutes.

    And it's one of those good things to keep in your fridge to have for an easy & tasty snack or a healthy lunch that doesn't fill you up but keeps you satisfied for hours.

    You can serve it with some chips if you'd like or just eat it from the bowl {my preferred method}.
