Greek yogurt and honey

I ate at Greek Islands and had its greek yogurt and honey dessert with sliced apples and oranges and walnuts. I would like to bring this dish to our friends for Easter. It looks simple to make ( I am sure looks are deceptive) has anyone made this dish? The Parthenon cookbook has a similiar dessert sans the fruit. Can anyone recommend a good honey and yogurt to use? And where to get these items? Minos Grocery is too far but the North suburbs/northside of Chicago is do-able. Any help is most appreciated.

Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both have good selections of greek yogurt. I like Oikos or Fage's best. With the latter, there is both 2% and 0 fat. Choose whichever you like. RE honey, anything at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods should be fine.

It's as easy as it sounds. Fage brand Greek yogurt works well as do pretty much any fruit/nut combo you can think of. I usually macerate whatever I'm using, be it berries, Asian pear, cherries, nectarines (any or all) w/a little rum, lemon zest, chopped mint and sugar for a couple hrs @ room temp. Toss to mix well every hr or so. Put the yogurt in a mixing bowl and drizzle wildflower honey to balance the sour while whisking to taste. As for the honey, it's a matter of taste but most any will do.

To assemble put yogurt on/in dish or bowl, add fruit w/juices and top w/a few sliced raw almonds or chopped walnuts. Garnish w/mint leaf. Done.

I like to put the honey on immediately before serving, or it will "melt" into the yogurt....I prefer the taste and look of the separate components.

If you're using Fage, I'd suggest the 2% version. I find the 0% to have an odd texture - not creamy- and I thnk it would really stand out in a dessert. I wouldn't be surprised that a restaurant would be using a full fat yogurt.

Orange blossom honey -- the "Some Honey" brand which is carried at Whole Foods works well -- goes really nicely with Fage yogurt; I prefer the 2%.

I would strongly suggest visiting Marketplace on Oakton for both the yogurt & honey. Greek-owned, it carries a great selection of both.

I bought Fage 2%, oranges, apples and Onino honey. I used pecans rather than pistachios as a garnish. The first time I made it is was OK. Just OK. I made it again last night and it was really yummy. I used plenty of honey and oranges and sweeter apples. Can't wait til I get home and make some more...
