Lately I’ve had the craziest craving for cucumbers, so I decided to pick some up at the store and make some ranch dressing to dip them in. I couldn’t remember if my recipe for ranch dressing called for yogurt or sour cream, so I decided to grab some yogurt at the store, thinking a) that was the right thing, and b) it would be good for breakfast or a snack too.

I get home and realize the recipe calls for sour cream. Oh well, let’s try it with yogurt. So I used about 3/4 cup yogurt, the juice of a small lemon, and the same quantity of spices from my ranch dressing recipe. Yum! The dip was a bit thick, so I thinned it with a tad bit of water. Perfection! Now I have an alternate version of my ranch dressing, and my cucumber craving has been satiated.

I pulled together a snack to help me through the rest of my workday. Yellow taxi tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and Tunisian roasted garlic olive oil.
