Chopped Gazpacho Salad
Makes: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
This refreshing salad is a one-bowl wonder, that’s great for an outdoor party. The crunchy Parmesan crisps
instead of croutons help cut down on carbs, and the fresh veggies make this one our favorites.
Ingredients:
 8 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
 1 shallot, minced
 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
 1 garlic clove, minced
 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
 1/2 large seedless cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
 3 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions:
To make the cheese crisps, heat a small dry nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Spread 2 tablespoons cheese into a thin layer in the skillet; let melt and brown on the
bottom, 1–2 minutes. With a small spatula, gently lift the edges of the cheese, then flip
over. Cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined
plate. Repeat with the remaining cheese, working with 2 tablespoons at a time. Let
cheese crisps cool 5 minutes, then break into shards.
Whisk together vinegar, shallot, oil, garlic, and hot sauce in a large bowl until blended.
Add tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, cilantro, and scallions to the dressing; toss until
well combined. Serve topped with the cheese crisps.

Dark Chocolate
Espresso Tart
Chopped
Gazpacho Salad
Makes: 12 (2-inch slices) /one
11-inch tart
Prep Time: 20 minutes
(+2 hours chilling time after baking)
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Difficulty: Medium
Chopped Gazpacho Salad
This recipe shows that healthy treats can be decadent and delicious. The chocolate espresso tart is rich in flavor, luscious,
and diabetes-friendly. You will be amazed at how much chocolaty goodness you get in exchange for only 154 calories
and 22.4 g of carbohydrates—and so will those you share this tart with!
Ingredients:
 5 ounces dark chocolate (60%) chips
(about ¾ cup)
 ½ cup almonds
 2 eggs, separated
 1 egg white
 ¾ cup sugar
 1 tablespoon instant espresso
 ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare the crust by melting the chocolate in the microwave by heating
in 30-second intervals and stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside. Grind
the almonds finely in a food processor and stir into the melted chocolate. Stir until fully incorporated.
Spread the chocolate almond mixture evenly on the bottom of a tart or pie pan. Set aside.
Prepare the filling by combining the egg yolks, sugar, instant espresso, and cocoa. The mixture will
be dry and crumbly. Set aside. Beat all 3 egg whites until you reach soft peaks. Stir a quarter of the
whipped egg whites into the crumbly chocolate mixture. The mixture will absorb the egg white and
become moist. Continue by folding in the remaining egg whites. Pour the batter over the chocolate
almond crust and smooth it out evenly.
Bake the tart for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before
refrigerating the tart for a couple of hours or until completely chilled (this will help firm up the tart).
Serve and enjoy!
