Simple seafood salad

Often salads are considered a big hurdle in preparation, taking more time to toss together as to consume. But they don' t always have to be complicated! Personally, I always have some left-overs of yesterday's dinner. Some pre-cut but unused veggies, a hand of fish of meat or bits of sauce. When you are in a struggle to get things done during early morning you simply cannot always find the time to prep from scratch. This is an excellent situation where you can throw all sorts of left-overs in a container and have your salad on-the-go in a flash. Start by using different kinds of lettuce as a base, you can also buy a bunch of tricolored lettuce (different kinds packed together with a big lump of earth and the roots still attached) or going really student-like an buying a sack of pre-washed lettuce. Next search your fridge for any kinds of veggies, get creative and make exciting flavour- and texture combinations. I had prepared a Chinese stir-fry and Italian pasta earlier that week so I threw in all veggies I decided not to use earlier on; Bell pepper mix, cabbage, carrot and onion. Then I choose some prawns from the stir fry and chili sauce. The prawns were already pre-cooked so they were super easy as they did not need any additional preparation. So a salad made within 5 minutes! Sometimes you are allowed to cheat because you simply cannot be a culinary chef every day. I find I really love a salad during the lunch instead of bread or wraps. In the course of time I have made so many different kinds of salads, especially with sea foods. Therefore I am currently writing a special series which highlights all different kinds of lunch salads with fish to showcase their versatility. I plan on writing a set of series where I take on dish and tweak it in alternating ways. I will post these after the weekends to provide inspiration for next week's meals, any suggestions? Let me know!
