yogurt in this banana split is indulgently creamy without all the extra sugar and fat that you

ice water nearby. Cut the tough bottom 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) off of
the asparagus stalks and blanch in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Shock in
the cold water until cooled, then drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place
into a serving dish and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon and orange juices, Dijon
mustard, and honey. Drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until thoroughly
blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the shallots into thin
rings, toss them with the dressing, and spoon over the asparagus spears.Yield: 6 servings

¾ cup (83 g) sliced almonds, dividedMake the raspberry purée by placing the raspberries in a food processor

the banana halves. Top one scoop with the raspberry purée. Top the other
scoop with 2 teaspoons honey and 2 tablespoons (14 g) almonds. Repeat

- If fresh raspberries are not available, you can use frozen raspberries
that have been thawed. - For a smoother raspberry sauce, strain out the seeds with a fine mesh
strainer.
