Something so simple, yet I never thought of it. I was looking for something I could have for lunch that was a bit more healthy than what I normally eat. I scored two points on this one! Low in fat and calories, low in cholesterol (a big plus for me) AND it's diabetic friendly! Which means it's not JUST good for me, it's good for hubby too, and I'm willing to bet he will like this. It's simple, delicious and easy to pack for lunches to work. Just put the salad mix in a little container and fill your pita when you're ready to eat. I'm not a fan of low fat ranch dressing, but Ken's brand is really good and I don't notice the difference. Keep in mind it's LOW FAT not FAT FREE. Big difference!
