Shredded Cheese Salad Topping

The Story:    I was out inventing again and decided to process my typical salad recipe. To my dismay the salad tasted awful almost metalic. Not wanting to waste and not knowing what to do, I dished into a container and put it the refrigerator. After a day or two, I thought why not just add my amazing cheese sauce, bake a potato, and throw in some sauteed mushrooms. I did and wow! I was amazed how delicious the dish turned out.  

Yeilds 1 1/2 cup 

Materials

1/2 portion of a Kimball's Typical Salad
