With the risotto, we re serving a special salad with a fresh mint dressing and for dessert, a scrumptious tiramisu that won t send you blood sugars off the chart. If you want to cut back, you could use a purchased fat-free dressing on the salad as you surely won t want to miss out on the tiramisu. Our third meal looks like spring with its colorful appetizer-salad, served on bruschetta, and the pretty soft pink color of poached salmon. We ve also poached a generous slice of the first of the season s sweet onions to accompany the salmon. Dessert is a tapioca pudding topped with spiced apricots, one of our favorite springtime fruits.
Pork is plentiful and offered on special at most every supermarket from time to time.
With this we re serving a lovely couscous with zucchini, golden raisins, and a wonderful blend of spices and herbs. This is a family meal special enough for guests.
