Now That is a Lunch

Today, I chopped vegetables for salads so I can quickly pack lunches this week (short work week yay!).

Mixed greens, carrots, radish, cucumber, snow peas with homemade creamy dressing.  I had planned to make a creamy buttermilk dressing, but wouldn't you know, they were out of buttermilk at the store, so I improvised.  Gluten free Kinnickinnick sandwich bread, spicy brown mustard, smoked turkey, swiss cheese, tomato sandwich.  Delish.  Spicy Thai Kettle Chips.  Diet Dr. Pepper-wanna be drink from home soda maker.

Creamy salad dressing:
1 individual container fat free plain yogurt (they only had fat free, which I don't normally buy)
about 1/2 as much low-fat sour cream as yogurt
splash of milk
about 1/2 Tbsp to 1 Tbsp mango balsamic vinegar
about 1/2 Tbsp to 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
about 3/4 cup parlsey
about 1/2 cup dill
(you can tell I'm big on measuring ingredients carefully!)

Blend or process until smooth and creamy.  Salt to taste (and it does need salt, it was bland until I added quite a bit to mine.  It's a lot of dressing, don't hold back!).
