I always add my nuts to other foods and very rarely eat them alone. I use toasted walnuts with asparagus, butter and fresh lemon (it's good topped with parmesan cheese too). I also eat walnuts in cottage cheese with sliced fruit (usually with berries, melon or apples) . Toasted almond slivers are good in broccoli slaw or coleslaw type salads with a dressing made of oil, vinegar and splenda. Sunflower seeds or soy nuts are great for salads. Chopped up peanuts are good for cucumber salads with asian flavors. Toasted pine nuts are great with feta cheese, basil, tomatoes, olive oil, parsely, lemon juice, kalamata olive, cucumber salad. Pecans are great with dishes that have pumpkin or winter squash. Also using ground nuts as a crust for chicken and fish is a good way to use them. I find a little bit goes a long way when you use nuts with other foods. Hope you can use some of the ideas to help.
