INGREDIENTS FOR CANDIED WALNUTS
GRAPE SALAD
PREPARATION
Line a small baking pan with parchment paper or foil; coat with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400°F
Toss walnuts in a bowl with water. Sprinkle with brown sugar and salt; toss to coat well. Transfer to the prepared pan. Bake until the sugar is melted and the nuts are barely starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool in the pan until the sugar hardens, about 6 minutes.
To prepare salad: Meanwhile, combine sour cream, cream cheese, honey and vanilla in a food processor and puree until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a large bowl. Add grapes and gently stir to combine. Transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the candied walnuts on top just before serving.

lemon squares
Lemon squares are so delicious, but classic lemon square recipes tip the scales with their calories and saturated fat. Our healthy lemon squares recipe shaves almost 200 calories and more than 5 grams of saturated fat per lemon square. For a variation, use lime juice in place of the lemon juice.
Makes: 9 squares, 2 1/2 inches each
Active Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 2 3/4 hours (including 2 hours chilling time)
NUTRITION PROFILE Low calorie | Low saturated fat | Low cholesterol | Low sodium | Heart healthy | Healthy weight |
CRUST
• 1 cup white whole-wheat flour or all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
FILLING
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• Lemon zest for garnish
• Confectioners’ sugar for garnish
PREPARATION
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil and generously coat it with cooking spray.
• To prepare crust: Combine flour, confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add oil and butter; using your fingertips, blend into the flour mixture until evenly combined. The mixture will be a little crumbly. Firmly press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake the crust until just barely beginning to brown around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• To prepare filling: Whisk granulated sugar, cornstarch, baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Whisk in eggs. Stir in water and lemon juice. Pour the filling over the crust.
• Bake until just set, 18 to 20 minutes. (The center should still be a little jiggly—it will firm up as it cools.)
• Let cool to room temperature in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 1/2 hours. Gently lift out of the pan all in one piece using the edges of the foil. Cut into 9 squares. Garnish with lemon zest and dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, just before serving.
