Ruffled Phyllo Tart with Spring Fruit
Our midday feast of EatingWell recipes, which are healthier versions of traditional, rich fare, includes whole grains, fruits and vegetables. The recipes in this menu also emphasize the colors and flavors of spring. I can make or prep most of the dishes ahead so I can spend time relaxing with my mom instead of cooking.
Healthy Mother's Day Menu:
• Nothing sets the tone for celebration better than a mint-tinged Raspberry Spritzer, made with Chambord (if you choose to use alcohol) and seltzer to keep calories in check.
• For a starter, serve Green Olive & Almond Spread with a toasted baguette or zucchini or cucumber slices.
• A poached egg on an English muffin is typical breakfast fare, but in Eggs Italiano the addition of a full-flavored, chunky vegetable medley between the egg and muffin transforms the simple dish into a sophisticated dinner or elegant brunch entree.
• Finish on a sweet note with a Ruffled Phyllo Tart with Spring Fruit.
