Marina here: my dinner plans for making Asian Grilled Salmon got turned upside down when they ran out of salmon at Savemart (it was on sale for $4.99/lb). So - instead, we had brinner (breakfast for dinner). I tried to make ham and cheese omelettes, but we ended up with scrambled eggs with ham and cheese :) And I made a modified version of Barefoot Contessa's french toast - very, very tasty!! But the highlight was her Fruit Salad with Limoncello (Family Style book) for dessert! Wow!
I started by slicing up some strawberries, adding blueberries and raspberries (the recipe also calls for bananas, but Greg doesn't like bananas so I only added those to my plate). Already this sounds fantastic, doesn't it? I bet in the summer, when the strawberries are really in season and perfectly sweet - this will be even better!
The yogurt sauce was just dreamy! It turned out a little more runny than I expected or would have preferred, so maybe next time less...yogurt? Not sure... But the taste was wonderful and refreshing. I love anything lemon too, so this recipe was sure to please. Notes - Trader Joe's has the best Lemon Curd and I found the Limoncello Liquer there also.
Anyone that would love to serve a light and lovely fruit salad but hates the idea of serving yet another potluck-y jello fruit salad-type dish - this is a beautiful upgrade!
