Chef's Tips

For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.

You can substitute other types of lettuce, such as butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce.

Add cooked chickpeas or white beans for extra protein.

For best flavor, use the freshest ingredients possible.

"The Greek yogurt parfait offers a cooling and creamy finish that complements the savory flavors of the main course. The fig jam provides a touch of sweetness and enhances the Mediterranean theme, while the walnuts add a satisfying crunch and nutty flavor that balances the lightness of the lettuce wraps and the parfait itself."
