Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt.

If you don't have dried figs, you can use fresh figs when they are in season. Quarter or slice them and add them to the parfait.

Other nuts, such as almonds or pistachios, can be substituted for walnuts.

This parfait is excellent after a Mediterranean meal like grilled chicken with vegetables and a lemon-herb vinaigrette, continuing the healthy theme with a light and refreshing finish.
