I cannot take credit for the catchy name or the tasty combination of ingredients; I know quite a few home cooks who have their own version of this recipe on file! However, I can tell you how I make it as well as list a few unique ways to repurpose your leftovers!

Leftovers:

IF you have them… consider the following (drain any liquid that accumulates first):

• Top grilled chicken or fish with a scoop.
• Toss it with a green salad.
