Easy Lunch

Cucumber, Avocado, and Tomato Salad

1/2 avocado
1/2 cup cucumber
2 grape tomatoes or 1/2 cup(cut into fourths and cubed)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 taplespoon cup greek yogurt

cut your avocado in half, drizzle lemon juice on the other half for preservation, cube and smash well. Deskin your cucumber and cube it. Cube your tomatoes. Add greek yogurt and lemon juice and mix well. Set aside

Pan Pita Bread

(Hopefully someone else will have better luck with these)

1/2 package yeast
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon garlic (divide equally for 3 pitas)
1/2 cup olive oil or butter

Dissolve your yeast in your water, stir in salt and flour to form a soft dough. Knead well on a floured surface. Divide into three small balls and knead those for a minute. Using a rolling pin (which I desperately need) roll your balls into 5 inch circles. Cover and let them rise for 45 minutes. Using olive oil and a bit of garlic, cook as you would a pancake.

I used my pita bread, if you wanna call it that, to dip into my salad. As funny as they looked, they tasted decent. You can also bake them but I'm trying to cut down on the baking.
