California is known for many things.
Sunshine, beaches, movie stars...
and WALNUTS!
They are a treat simply fresh out of the shell,
but if you are looking for a little pizzaz,
you need to make these Pesto Walnuts.
They have all of the classic flavors of pesto on the walnut,
instead of the walnut being in the pesto...
They are savory and so flavorful.
The perfect snack on their own or a great addition to your holiday entertaining.
Don't you wish they all could be California nuts?
