RECIPES FOR LEFTOVER VEGETABLES

Leftover veggies are like hidden treasures in the kitchen. They hold the promise of turning into something delicious and satisfying. Let's rescue those veggies from the brink of waste and transform them into delightful meals! Here are some creative recipe ideas for using up those leftover vegetables:

1. **Fried Rice**: A classic way to repurpose various leftover veggies is to make a healthy dish of **fried rice**. Sauté your veggies with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, then toss them with cooked rice. Add scrambled eggs or tofu for extra protein.

2. **Bean Salads**: Mix leftover veggies like **carrots**, **celery**, and **bell peppers** into a **chickpea salad** or a **quinoa and chickpea salad**. The possibilities are endless, and you can customize the dressing to your liking.

3. **Buddha Bowls**: Create your own **Buddha bowl** by combining leftover veggies with grains (like rice or quinoa), legumes (such as chickpeas or lentils), and a flavorful sauce. Top it all off with some avocado slices or nuts.

4. **Frittatas**: Whip up a **frittata** using leftover veggies like **broccoli**, **spinach**, or **kale**. Beat some eggs, add your veggies, cheese, and herbs, and bake until set. It's a great way to use up odds and ends from your fridge.

5. **Kale Salads**: Kale is sturdy and holds up well as leftovers. Try an **anything-goes kale salad** with a zesty tahini dressing or a **Greek kale salad** with creamy tahini dressing. Add nuts, seeds, or dried fruits for extra crunch and flavor.

Remember these safety tips:
- Refrigerate leftovers promptly (within two hours).
- Use cooked leftovers within 3-4 days.
- Keep cooked leftovers separate from raw foods to avoid cross-contamination.

So, dive into your fridge, rescue those veggies, and let your creativity shine! 🌱🍽️
