Jump back, Jack! You will not believe that something this good for you can taste so good. Serve it as the main dish with a small portion of lean protein such as poached tilapia for a robustly filling meal that will leave you happy with your choices for flavor and health. Walnut oil is a wonderful flavor treat, but if you don't have any on hand, olive oil is a perfectly acceptable substitute.
Tip: To toast nuts, place in a small, dry skillet over low heat and stir constantly until just fragrant (2-3 minutes).
