What to keep in mind.
7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and better satiety.
- 2Pat berries completely dry after rinsing to prevent the yogurt from becoming watery.
- 3Assemble bowls just before serving to keep the granola crunchy.
- 4For a visually striking presentation, arrange berries in concentric circles.
- 5If making ahead, store granola separately in an airtight container and mix only when ready to eat.
- 6Let yogurt sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before assembling to reduce chill and improve flavor.
- 7Use a mix of ripe but firm berries so they hold their shape and don't bleed juice.
