One of my favourite ways to use up leftovers is to combine them all to make a delicious salad. I am a firm believer that salad’s should not be seen as boring and always feel frustrated at the negativity towards eating a salad.

One of my favourite quick meals is a Leek and Spinach Spaghetti Carbonara. There is something so comforting about sitting down with a bowl of this classic dish….
