The accidental food discovery! What's for lunch? Well, I composed a beautiful salad of romaine, Persian cucumber, red onion, garbanzo beans, parmesan and sunflower seeds...delicious! The accidental discovery occurred when I realized I did not have enough creamy yogurt dressing for my salad - it sat there waiting to be dressed.  Sometimes I just crave a creamy dressing. No wimpy vinaigrette will do.  I had let the cucumber and onion bathe in a bowl of vinegar for a bit while I prepared the romaine so I decided to pour a little vinegar into the "empty" yogurt dressing bottle - gave it a hearty shake and "Voila!" I had a thinned but delicious dressing. Stretches the dollar and is absolutely delicious. I felt so noble for eating such a healthy salad for lunch but since then I have polished off an almost empty bag of Mesquite BBQ Potato Chips - YUM! I hope you enjoyed your lunch today and that you allowed yourself the experience of a little culinary splurge - even if it came from a bag! Yummy!
