I finally toasted nuts for my salad and it brightened my day

Okay, so I used to toss raw nuts into my salads without thinking. They were fine, but nothing special. Then I heard about toasting them and gave it a shot last week. Just a few minutes in a dry pan until they smelled warm and nutty. That simple step made the whole kitchen feel happy and my salad taste so much better. Trust me, don't skip toasting your nuts, it takes no time and adds so much joy. Now I look forward to making lunch just for that little crunch lol.

Totally get that happy kitchen feeling.

Toasted walnuts are my go-to now. Makes a boring salad feel fancy for almost no work.

Honestly, toasted walnuts in pesto is a game changer too. Totally bumps up the flavor for basically the same effort.
