Meat/Chicken Salad

Try leftover meat tossed in a salad for a summer lunch or dinner. Steak is particularly good this way -- although leftover steak is a rare occurrence in our house! Chicken, turkey, or ham are great, too. Use romaine, plenty of fresh parsley, cukes, peppers, red onion. Add olive oil -- with a clove of garlic crushed in it -- and toss well before you add any other seasoning. (This tossing with the oil first makes a *huge* difference!) Then, on NeanderThin, I'd suggest lemon juice, oregano and pepper, maybe some of that homemade mayo if you like your dressing creamy. Mustard is good; I just add a squirt of brown mustard out of the bottle. Toss well after each addition. At the last, add the meat and sliced tomatoes. (Tomatoes go in after tossing, or they get mushed.)
