Sometimes I forget about making salads with leftover fish. I love tuna fish or seafood salads, and this is similar. This was the recipe for leftovers from Pesto Fish Tacos (or chicken or shrimp, if that’s what you used). I also used up some vegetables from our garden. And of course, I used Sunshine’s goat cheese (click here, for info). It’s a perfectly delicious summer salad. There are a lot of substitutions and additions you could make to the recipe, in addition to using mayonnaise for a dressing.
