When I needed an easy meal idea recently, “leftover makeover” inspiration struck. I combined chickpeas, peas and shredded carrots in a bowl, along with some pesto I purchased prior. Feeling the need to get a little bit of salty tang, I reached for Conebella Cheese and grated it. I suggest smoked or Italian Colby or Cheddar.
Chopped pistachios added some great crunch, but slivered almonds will do too. Finish it by sprinkling a little bit of flaky Morton salt on top. While this served as a meal for us, it could also be your next side with a grilled protein, or an imaginative alternative to pasta salad for your next meal.
