Recycled Dinner

Recognize this?

If it sort of looks like last night's dinner, you're right. I wasn't about to waste all the sauce left in the pot after we ate the ribs, so I added: a cup of frozen peas, two diced roasted red bell peppers, two diced roasted carrots, a diced roasted onion, half a pound of cooked pasta, and a heaping cup of yogurt. Yes, I said yogurt. It turned my tomato sauce into a sort of stroganoff sauce. Then I added some grilled spicy Italian sausage and voila! Two dinners from one sauce. And because a heavy dinner should always be paired with a light side, I topped it with some corn and cucumber tossed in lime juice.

that does look good. But I am interested in the corn and cucumber and lime juice, mmmm that sounds good right now. Just lime juice? how much? just a bit?

You're not going to like this answer much: enough lime juice to taste. I like tanginess so I used the juice of a whole large lime, but try half and see how you like it. That's for one ear of corn and half a diced cucumber. Also add a pinch of salt.
