I am all about repurposing food, learned it from my mother.... having been rich and poor, the roller coaster ride of leaving Hungary and stopping in Austria and heading to the United States, I learned to be frugal and make food go a long way.

The other day I bought some crab Leggs and Diane, and I had a great appetizer for the main course. Needless to say, we had a little left over. Not enough to share as an appetizer hence I decided to make a salad. Repurposing the remaining crab Leggs.

If you asked me or Diane, you would hear it was great.

I do the same, Endre. Hate wasting food... and these days with the cost of food you really need to think twice before wasting any.

It reminded me that we get two meals (2 days) whenever we buy a Costco Chicken or 2+lbs of the Salmon

Endre we do the same thing.  The lobster we had for New Year's Dinner, ended up being three different meals.

I have a friend who swears she makes her most delicious meals using whatever leftovers she finds in the fridge. Wish I had her creativity!

Hi Endre- I do not like waste so I'm all about using what I have. I can roast a chicken and after that have chicken enchiladas and chicken soup...oh yes, chicken pot pie as well.

I hear ya!  My mom was famous for stretching meals.  After all she was cooking for 8!  To this day, I don't waste much of anything in the refrigerator.  Sometimes, especially these days, I've made some pretty weird combinations!  LOL!

That looks like a great salad and a good way to used that extra crab. Leftovers can be wonderful and it's fun to see how creative you can be with them.

First, that looks divine and I love repurposing food - or using leftovers, whatever you want to call it! It is often the main ingredient in an amazing new dish!
