Tips:
- If made in a 10 x 6-inch baking dish;
cut into squares and serve on lettuce-lined plates as a salad,
or on plates with a pureed strawberry or raspberry sauce for
dessert.

hollowed-out orange halves and frozen. Cut thin slice from bottom
of orange halves so they will stand; place in muffin tins to
