Peaches and Yogurt with Sugared Almonds
This dish - tasty enough for dessert - boasts potassium and vitamin C from the peaches, and calcium and protein from the yogurt. Make the topping a day in advance, cool it completely, and store it at room temperature in a zip-top plastic bag. Be sure to measure the egg white; when we tested the dish with 1 whole egg white, the recipe didn't work.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup yogurt mixture, 1 cup peaches, 3 tablespoons topping)
