Dino's fig and Marcona almond yogurt parfait is not so much a recipe as it is a suggestion for a fabulous food combination. I'd say the adult culinary combination to rival kids peanut butter and jelly, although, if your children are anything like mine, they'll want some of this delightful dish!<\/p>\n

It never fails, when I buy the ingredients someone shopping nearby will ask me about them. I have told so many fellow shoppers about this food combo, I decided I had to write about it so I can simply send people to my site instead of going into detail in the supermarket aisle.<\/p>\n

I can't take credit for this delightful idea as it was suggested to me by our “cheese guy<\/em>” at Wild Oats Marketplace when we lived in Tampa. For those of you keeping track, Wild Oats was a health food grocery chain that was bought out by Whole Foods back in 2007.<\/p>\n

When the children were younger it was common for us to go on little excursions, or “one-tank road trips” every weekend, or else take the boat out to beer can island for a beachside picnic. Before these mini-adventures, we would peruse the health food shop for portable food items, often venturing to try something new.<\/p>\n

Our cheese guy, whose name was actually Dino, would often recommend various new cheeses for us to try. He would make pairing suggestions, crackers, and veggies, not wine, though I'm sure to other people not dragging along a gaggle of children he probably did recommend some booze and cheese combos.<\/p>\n

It was on one of these trips to Wild Oats that Dino suggested I take Greek Yogurt, top it with Fig Jam and Marcona almonds as a dessert-like dish that was healthy enough to stand in for breakfast as well. Once we tried the recommendation we were all hooked.<\/p>\n

In fact, I recall during my pregnancy with Harmon (and while the rest of my family escorted my mom to the airport) sitting down to eat a ridiculous portion of this treat while watching Memoirs of a Geisha. Thirteen years later, I still enjoy eating Dino's fig and Marcona almond parfait on the regular.<\/p>\n

Creamy tart yogurt with salty marcona almonds and tangy sweet fig jam is a winning combination and so fast you won't believe it.<\/span><\/div>\n
