It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

I scaled this to serve only 25 so some of the measurements were kinda hard to follow but since it's a pasta salad I figured precise measurements weren't so much of an issue. It turned out pretty good. I think I would use shredded carrot and maybe omit the green pepper and use white wine vinegar instead of the red.
