I am warning you now that you may inhale these innocent-looking roll-ups before your friends even ring the doorbell. I had to pull myself away from the baking sheet and leave the kitchen entirely to escape the buttery, garlicky aroma. These roll-ups wouldn’t make it to their serving platter if I lingered too long.

This is the kind of homemade appetizer that is going to win you accolades. Make them once and friends will begin to ask you for those “flaky, garlicky things” each time they drop by; it’s already happening to me! That’s not necessarily a bad thing because they’re something you can keep stocked in the freezer to bake off at a moment’s notice. They’ll bake in just the amount of time it takes to pop open a bottle of wine and pour everyone a glass, ensuring your happy hour is effortless.

I found myself riffling through the pantry and fridge in frustration early today and decided that a week of dinners using up leftovers and pantry staples was in order. This is one really great way to trim our grocery budget — I may even try to skip shopping all together this weekend — and make room in our admittedly overstuffed pantry.

As a boon, I also have some grilled proteins leftover from recipe testing this weekend, including grilled chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, and grilled corn that have to be eaten asap. Here are the five meals I’m making for my pantry-clearing, budget-saving week of dinners ahead.

PRIMAL KITCHEN® Caesar Dressing is everything you want in Caesar salad dressing—creamy and garlicky with a punch of lemon and pepper. It’s the perfect dressing for a simple bowl of crisp romaine lettuce, but if you want to take your Caesar salad to the next level, you’ll toss in more flavor and nutrients with smoked salmon, avocado, and kale.

This salad can be plated at home like a regular salad, or cleverly brought to work in a glass jar. Layering the dressing and ingredients in a jar stores everything neatly (no salad dressing leaks!) and keeps the salad crisp and fresh. When it’s lunchtime, just shake the salad into a bowl. The dressing will pour out on top of the greens, avocado and salmon, instantly making a Caesar salad your coworkers will envy.

Time in the Kitchen: 10 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients

• ¼ cup PRIMAL KITCHEN® Caesar Dressing, or more to taste (60 ml)
• 6 ounces smoked salmon, flaked (170 g)
• 1 avocado, chopped
• 2 handfuls baby kale leaves or chopped kale (stem removed) (56 g)
• 2 handfuls chopped romaine lettuce hearts (56 g)

Instructions

If making this salad in a bowl, simply toss the ingredients together and pour PRIMAL KITCHEN® Caesar Dressing on top.

If making this salad in a glass jar, pour the salad dressing in the bottom of a canning jar. (Use one large jar, or split the ingredients between two smaller jars)

Layer kale, romaine, avocado and smoked salmon in the jar, on top of the dressing.

Put the lid on the jar and store in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, take off the lid and shake the salad into a bowl.
