How to Make Fresh Fruit Parfait With Lemon Poppy Seed Yogurt

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), 1/2 cup chopped kiwi or other fruit, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  2. Gently toss to combine and let the fruit macerate for 10-15 minutes. This allows the fruit to release its juices and absorb the lemon flavor.
  3. While the fruit macerates, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups lowfat plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
  4. Layer the fruit mixture and yogurt in clear glasses or parfait dishes. Start with a layer of fruit, followed by a layer of yogurt. Repeat until the glass is full.
  5. Garnish each parfait with a fresh sprig of mint.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
