I think the most creative way of cooking is when you use leftovers that have been hanging out in the fridge and turn them into a new dish you really enjoy. Maybe this love of a leftover challenge is one reason I'm also prone to reinventing my favorite recipes, with slight variations based on the things I have on hand. This salad is a reincarnation of the Leftover Chicken Pesto Salad I made last year, but this time I added a jar of roasted red peppers and a bit of lemon juice to brighten the flavor. Both these salads were a great way to use rotisserie chicken, especially if you also have leftover pesto or homemade pesto in the freezer.Chicken Pesto Salad with Roasted Red Pepper and Peas
