    I love it in a Greek salad, tossed with grape tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, green pepper, some kalamata olives, and a splash of basalmic vinegar. Sometimes I will add in mixed greens too..

    Tzatziki is a good alternative. It's a Greek dip that's basically yogurt, cucumber, garlic and dill. Delicious.

    The wrap with Tzatziki sounds good............

    Caesar salad.....lettuce, croutons, parmesan cheese, light Caesar dressing

    Asian salad.....lettuce, mandarin oranges, snap peas, a few chow mien noodles, Newman's Sesame Ginger dressing

    Spinach salad with strawberries and pecans, balsamic dressing

    You could just use less ranch or mayo. A tablespoon of ranch is 55 calories. Or you could make ranch with Greek yogurt and ranch dressing mix.

    I have also used Laughing Cow cheese wedges as spreads. The garlic and herb is my favorite flavor. The chipotle is really good too.

    My husband uses big romaine lettuce leaves as wraps instead of tortillas.

    OH GOD, this stuff is the nectar of the gods! I get a giant tub at Costco for like $8. It's good with literally everything.

    You'd want to make sure you get the right kind. I use the giant green lettuce leaves. I feel like red lettuce is kinda too thin? Although it's my favorite lettuce :)
