Delicately seasoned with basil and lemon rind, this frittata spotlights the contrasting flavors of asparagus, green onions, and grape tomatoes. Wild rice brings an earthy nuttiness and makes this dish a light meal in itself. Experiment with whatever produce is in season or is your preference--fresh peas and mint, for example.

    Incredible!
    Delicious! I made just a couple changes: dried basil instead of fresh, lemon juice instead of rind and feta instead of goat cheese, just based on what I had. I will definitely make this again! A lot of food for fewer calories. - 5/11/10
