What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Choose Your Yogurt Wisely: Opt for full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and more satisfying richness. Plain varieties allow the tangerine's flavor to shine.
- 2Segmenting Perfection: For a more elegant presentation and easier eating, you can supreme the tangerine by cutting away the peel and pith, then carefully slicing out the segments between the membranes.
- 3Nutty Boost: To enhance the flavor of the almonds, lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant before adding them to the bowl.
- 4Make Ahead Hack: While best assembled fresh, you can prep the tangerine segments and toast the almonds in advance. Store them separately and combine just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Adapt it for your goals.
