How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts not only gives them a pleasing golden color but also intensifies their flavor and adds crunch. To toast nuts, spread them in single layer in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally.

I think glazing the walnut piece would add more depth to the recipe, I chose to use celery instead of fennel.

This was just ok. I think it would be alot better using a sweeter dressing, like a balsamic or honey vinagrette. The Italian dressing just wasn't the right combo for these vegetables and it had a weird flavor.

The fennel was very expensive. It didn't add that much flavor. Next time I will use celery.

I love beets and try to find a number of ways to present them. With this recipe I was able to have a friend try beets that they said they hated and they admitted they enjoyed them.

This is great. I used the fennel and it gave the dish a snap.

Very good any time of year. We made it for Thanksgiving dinner and it was a great compliment.
