Blueberries and Figs with Lavender Honey Yogurt






















There is not much to this dish when it comes to ingredients yet every bite tastes oh so good. You may have noticed that I keep recipes pretty simple in the summer. I like to let the fresh produce take center stage and enjoy them as unadulterated as possible. Blueberry season is in full swing in CT and I have been including them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They combine beautifully with ripe figs, and the flavors are enhanced subtly with lavender and mint. While I made this recently for dessert, it's filling enough for breakfast and light enough for an afternoon snack.
