Day 321: Leftovers Supreme

With lots of tasty things in the house, there was no need to buy anything for dinner tonight.  Instead, I made a warm quinoa salad with the following items that we had on hand:
- vinaigrette made from juice of 1.5 lemons, 2 T olive oil, and S&P
- corn scraped off a leftover cob
- half a bag of frozen spinach, defrosted (this is easy to do by running it under lukewarm water)
- some chopped up roasted tomatoes
- a handful of sliced almonds

Lots of tasty things could have gone into this dish:  frozen peas, crumbled goat cheese, chopped avocado.  Whatever!!  It felt good to use up some stuff we had on hand and to create such a tasty and healthful dinner.  Leftovers rule!
