Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: My hint is what to do with all that leftover salad that you know your family’s not going to eat:

Juice it in your juicer or puree it in your food processor! You can either mix it with tomato juice for your own vegetable juice or put it in soups and stews for extra vitamins.

When I make a salad, I use spinach, cabbage (red or Chinese-style), zucchini, carrots, raw broccoli and mushrooms, so there are quite a few nutrients going to waste in leftover salad. And I hate waste, which is one of the reasons I like your columns. - Darcy Matthews, Wailuku, Hawaii

I hate waste too, and your hint is a real winner! Leftover salad turned into a nutritious drink. You are a smart cookie. - Heloise
