You'll drizzle that onto a bed of salad greens (whatever you have) and a lean protein of choice (leftover chicken or shrimp or canned tuna work well, or use tofu or beans for a plant-based meal). You can additional vegetables and toppings if you want—try grape tomatoes, avocado, or shredded carrot. For crunch, top with peanuts or another roasted nut.
