This sounds counter intuitive, but when it comes to having an idea on creating new dish variety, it makes sense. Take a house salad dish for example: you can have the salad with many different types of green, rich in variety but as you eat them, those ingredients dwindle over time, eventually you would have to settle for less in combination of different varieties. But at the same time the combination with a fewer different types of greens, now would taste different as whole, Maybe enough to call it a new DISH!

It is like win win, when you think of it! Cleaning out the fridge while at the same time enjoying MORE. So next time you can buy more complimentary ingredients to create your healthy diet plan no matter what your inventory level is in your fridge and food pantry.
