Ever looked in your kitchen and had NO idea what to whip up? So have we... And that is exactly where the idea for this recipe was born!
With spring here and summer around the corner, this Pantry Salad is the perfect light lunch or supper salad. The best part, you probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry.
This recipe came together one day at the end of a busy week in the WOT Test Kitchen and a little creativity was needed with limited ingredients (we’ve all been there).
WOT we love about this recipe: It’s quick, inexpensive, packed with protein, and great flavors! We added some tortilla chips on top for a little crunch which we highly suggest doing. You could also add sliced jalapeno if you have them and want a little extra heat. Feel free to modify this recipe based on what you have home.
