What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the best texture, let the Greek yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before assembling to take off the chill.
- 2Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor and add extra crunch.
- 3If berries are out of season, use frozen berries and let them thaw slightly; they will release a little juice that mixes beautifully with the yogurt.
- 4Drizzle honey in a zigzag pattern for even distribution so each bite gets a touch of sweetness.
- 5Assemble the bowls just before serving to keep the nuts crunchy and the berries fresh; this dish does not store well once assembled.
