Cheese Board Besties:
Pair artisan cheese from our Specialty Cheese Department with fresh or dried fruit, cured meats, and (of course) California Walnuts for a super snack spread in no time flat. Try this Easy Cheese Board on for size, or mix and match your own favorite ingredients.

Bake & Take:
Nuts about baking? Boasting a fantastically versatile flavor and toothsome texture, California Walnuts add a little nutty crunch to all sorts of kitchen creations. One that lends itself especially to the munchies is our Walnut Biscotti Recipe, perfect for dunking in coffee or tea! 

Homemade Hummus:
There are few dips as iconic, hearty, and appetizing as hummus when it comes to superb snacking. Instead of using chickpeas, our Edamame Hummus Recipe calls for fresh soybeans and walnut butter. Bonus: This recipe also teaches you how to make DIY walnut butter!

Pro Tip: If you're not going to eat them all at once, keep your walnuts tasting fresh for the long haul by storing them in the fridge or freezer. Happy snacking!
