Fridge Fest Chicken Salad

Do you ever have one of those days when you open up the fridge and attempt to make a salad with everything that is in it?  

I had one of those days.  

The first thing I spotted was the jalapeno and pesto, leftover from Kitchen Psycho’s  Breakfast Tacos with Spinach Pepita Pesto I had made earlier this week .  

There was also some fresh mozzarella left from my Lasagna Burger last week.  

Now, I normally use mayo instead of Miracle Whip, but my S.O. LOVES the stuff!  And of course, it was in the fridge, so I used it.  

With the quick addition of some fresh cucumber and tomato, I ended up with a chicken salad that turned out pretty darned tasty!
