Asparagus and Shallots


with Citrus Vinaigrette


•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

although it is often served as a hot side dish, asparagus is also fantastic cold. This light


salad really highlights the fresh flavor of crisp, spring asparagus.

Greek Yogurt Banana Splits


•Soy-free

Greek yogurt is regular yogurt with water strained out, which makes it thicker. using Greek
yogurt in this banana split is indulgently creamy without all the extra sugar and fat that you
get with your typical ice cream sundae, so it’s perfect for brunch! no one will be able to resist.

Bring a large saucepan full of salted water to a boil. Place a large bowl of
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


Chef’s Tip
Make this a quick light meal by serving with a piece of grilled chicken, fish,
or tofu for a vegetarian version.

1 pint (250 g) fresh raspberries
6 bananas
2 cups (460 g) plain Greek yogurt
4 tablespoons (85 g) honey, divided
¾ cup (83 g) sliced almonds, divided

Make the raspberry purée by placing the raspberries in a food processor
and processing until liquefied.
Split each banana in half and place 2 halves onto 6 plates. Use an ice
cream scoop to put 2 scoops of Greek yogurt onto each plate between
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
for each banana split, then serve.

Yield: 6 servings


Chef’s Tip



  • 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.
