Pot Roast Avocado Salad

with blue cheese crumbles and a spicy low-cal Sriracha Ranch dressing

I’m a huge fan of cooking once, and eating new, creative meals not just once, but two or three times based on that first dish. It just makes cooking your follow-on meals so much easier! And you don’t have to deal with that awful “leftover” syndrome. I understand the oh-too-human reaction to eating the same food AGAIN … I get tired of eating the same thing all the time too! So I try to find different ways to use the foods I cooked so that I’m eating something entirely new most every time I eat.

This is one of the things I made with my leftover Crockpot Za’atar Pot Roast  … leftover pot roast on a salad is a great way to add protein to your salad, and so much better when it’s dressed up with some blue cheese crumbles, fresh sweet cherry tomatoes, a few red onions and a nice Sriracha ranch dressing to give it a little kick. If you want a little extra crunch, try adding a few roasted sunflower seeds.
