Chef's Notes

Toast the nuts
Toasted nuts have a little more flavor. You can toast them in a small stovetop pan on medium heat for 3–4 minutes, tossing frequently until fragrant. If using pre-toasted walnuts, check to see if they are salted. If they are, you will want to omit (or significantly reduce) the salt called for in the recipe.

Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of maple syrup.

Serving Ideas
Try on a simple salad of mixed greens with cucumber and avocado or a fall salad with beets and carrots.

Use as a sauce on a grain bowl with cooked quinoa and black beans, along with fresh vegetables and avocado!
