I have teamed up with the fabulous California Walnuts again to create this delicious summery lunch recipe. California Walnut sun-dried tomato pesto toasts with colourful tomato basil salad and oh my goodness it’s so good! Packed full of lovely flavours.
The pesto works brilliantly on the toasts – but it’s incredibly versatile and is brilliant on pasta, with rice or roast veg.The combination of sun dried tomatoes and California Walnuts is incredible and adds intense and rich flavour.And the colourful tomato salad shouts of summer – fresh and vibrant.
About California Walnuts;
The taste, texture and nutrition benefits of California Walnuts makes them a great choice for all sorts of dishes – sweet and savoury dishes – my favourites are pesto like this, used in tart bases, toasted to top salads or oats and make a brilliant ‘meaty’ texture in bolognese etc
And – all you need is a handful a day to get the benefits of California Walnuts
I think that California Walnuts are the best in the market and their packs they’re identifiable with a sticker or label which states: Produce of California or Produce of USA on the pack.
A few nutritional facts;
- Walnuts are the only tree nut to contain a rich source of the plant-based omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 2.7g/ 30g * which the body can’t make on its own so must come from food
- In addition to good fat, protein and fibre, walnuts also contain thiamin (vitamin B1), vitamin B6, folate, vitamin E, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, manganese and biotin.
- Over 30 years of research suggests that California Walnuts may also offer benefits for heart health, cognitive health, diabetes, gut health, reproductive health and weight loss.
- 30g of California Walnuts* offers 4.4 g of protein and 1.4 g of fibreDid you know! For great tasting walnuts all of the time, they are best kept in the fridge. For longer storage, place them in the freezer for up to 12 months.
