Every Tuesday I try to be selfish…. It’s my day off from work, and is probably my favorite day of the week (sorry, boss!)

I usually do some sort of slow cooker dinner, I go to yoga, I try to do laundry & lately – I make myself this “pantry salad”

There is no real recipe to this salad.  You just open your pantry & see what you have available.  Today, I had a can of artichoke hearts, a can of black beans, a can of diced tomatoes & corn.  Drain them well, rinse them if that’s your thing (I always rinse my beans!), and mix together in a tupperware style bowl.

You can season it however you want – today I did kosher salt, black pepper, roasted garlic & basil.  Then I drizzle some olive oil & vinegar over it.  Mix it well & you have a nice treat that will be waiting for you in the fridge this week when you need a snack.  I also use my “pantry salad”  in wraps, mixed with rice or even on top of tossed salads.  The options are really endless!

Doesn’t it look great!
