Leftovers are now Pasta Salad

What do you do with leftovers? I usually eat them as separate parts of a whole meal- as an entree and a side-dish, but lately I've been making pasta salad. Here's what I did today: I took Sunday's leftover chicken salad and added yesterday's grilled veggies which I chopped, and today's angel hair pasta. Then I added a heaping Tb mayonnaise, 1 TB Italian salad dressing, one tsp sugar, some salt and pepper to taste and now I have two servings of delicious pasta salad.

Rice Salad- (Unusual)

4 Cups Cooked Long Grain Rice

8 Radishes sliced

4 Hard Cooked Eggs

1 Medium Cucumber Chopped

2 Cups diced Celery

1/2 Cup chopped Onion

1 and 1/2 Cups Mayonnaise

3 Tb Mustard

1 tsp Salt

Combine mayo, mustard and salt, and mix in with the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

NOTE: I would not use the radishes or cucumbers so what would I replace them with? Shredded carrots? I bet half a finely chopped red or green pepper would be good in this.
