"Orange" you Glad you Read this?

It's not yet summertime, but the citrus-y smell of orange caught my attention the last time I was at the grocery store. And, of course, it resulted in a really low sodium (and tasty) dessert!

To make: Roll one navel orange until the juice is released from the pulp. (It will feel squishy.) Before slicing in half, use a zester to remove 1 T. of zest from the rind. Slice the orange in half, and squeeze out 1 T. of juice. Combine 2 T. honey to the zest and juice. Then add 6 ounces of mascarpone cheese. Blend together until everything is smooth and combined.  Slather onto a banana, a rice cake (really good on carmel ones), or even use as a dark chocolate dip.

Enjoy!
