SAMPLE RECIPE: Almond Strawberry Parfaits VEGETARIAN, GLUTEN-FREE // SERVES 4 // PREP TIME: 15 minutes // COOK TIME: 5 minutes A great make-ahead dessert, this creamy parfait treat is loaded with fiber and vitamin C, even though it’s sweet. Low-fat ricotta and delightfully creamy Greek yogurt add vitamin D, which can help increase HDL cholesterol levels. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. In a small saucepan on the stovetop or in a glass bowl in the toaster oven, toast the almonds over low heat until they are golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside. 2. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. 3. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, jam, and balsamic vinegar, and mix gently. 4. Make the parfaits by layering the ricotta mixture and the strawberry mixture into 4 parfait or wine glasses. 5. Top each glass with the toasted almonds, and serve. You can make this recipe ahead of time and chill it up to 3 hours.
