  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the lemon yogurt mixture.

  4. If using, add a layer of lemon curd.

  5. Top with granola, fresh blueberries, and sliced almonds.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Cantina Chicken Mexican Pizza is one of Taco Bell’s lighter options compared to beef-based menu items — slow-roasted chicken is lower in saturated fat than seasoned ground beef, and the fresh toppings like purple cabbage and pico de gallo add fiber and vitamins. If you’re watching sodium, pairing it with water instead of a fountain drink and skipping an extra side keeps the meal more balanced. The new Jalapeño Citrus Salsa is also a flavorful, low-calorie way to add heat and brightness without reaching for something heavier like sour cream or a creamy sauce.
