What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For an enhanced nutty flavor, lightly toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and golden, then let them cool before adding to the bowl.
- 2Always choose ripe apricots for the best natural sweetness and soft texture. They should be slightly soft to the touch and have a fragrant aroma.
- 3To make this bowl even more refreshing, ensure your Greek yogurt is well-chilled before assembly. You can also chill the diced apricots for a few minutes.
- 4This recipe is perfect for meal prep; dice your apricots and toast your almonds ahead of time, storing them separately. Assemble right before eating for optimal freshness.
