Your Go-To Recipe for Using Up Leftover Chorizo

If you have a half-used pack of chorizo in your fridge and you’re tired of the usual pasta or pizza, this recipe is your new go-to solution. It uses just 100g of the spicy sausage, making it the perfect way to use up leftovers while creating a completely new and exciting meal.
This salad allows the chorizo to take a starring role, pairing it with creamy butter beans that soak up all its delicious, paprika-infused oil as they roast together. This technique maximizes the flavour you get from even a small amount of the sausage.
The recipe builds a complete, balanced meal around the leftover ingredient. The rich, smoky chorizo is perfectly complemented by the fresh, crisp lettuce and a zesty, creamy coriander dressing, creating a dish that feels intentional and thoughtfully planned, not like an afterthought.
Don’t let good ingredients go to waste. This inventive salad is a fantastic and delicious way to transform leftover chorizo into a satisfying and impressive main course for two.
