Substitutes

Okay, many of you know by now my rule about the extras (ranch, salad dressing, mayo, sour cream, cream cheese, etc).  The less you partake, the less you will crave them.  So I want you all to try some new ways to substitute fattening foods for healthy foods.  Here's a list. Let me know what you love.
Non fat plain yogurt
Neufchatel or "light" cream cheese or fat-free cream cheese
Lemon or Lime Juice
Garlic
Salt and pepper (watch the salt if you have high blood pressure)
Basil
Cilantro
Peppers
EVOO mixed with lemon juice and spices
Salsa
Cottage Cheese (low fat)
Applesauce

Good luck!

Steph,

Is this including those items that are fat-free or the low-fat versions? I can see making substitutions for those that are full fat but when I eat cucumber slices, nothing mates up as well as ranch.
