What to do with your Leftovers

Beet & Yam Salad with a Pear & Basil Puree


Each week just before I make out my list for the groceries I will need for the week’s menu I pull everything out of the fridge and try to create a new salad or soup. Here is what I came up with this week!

Beet & Yam Salad with a Pear & Basil Puree

serves 2

Put the beets/yam/cabbage/pepper in your food processor and pulse until finely chopped then put onto the center of your plates:

  • about ½ cup of each: beet, yam, and cabbage
  • ½ of a bell pepper

Cut up the following into thin pieces:

  • 2-3 radishes
  • ¼ – ½ of a jicama

Place these pieces over the salad then drizzle with the Pear puree and serve.

Pear Basil Puree

In a small blender put the following and blend until creamy:

  • 1 pear cubes
  • 3-6 fresh basil leaves
  • ¼ tsp. of each: cinnamon, cloves
  • 1 small pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp. honey

Drizzle this over the salad and serve with some celery slices.
