Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts adds crunch and intensifies their flavor. Place nuts in single layer in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Or, cook on the stovetop in an ungreased skillet on medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently.

I didn't care for this one too much...the flavors didn't seem to really go together.

Surprisingly good! The flavors mixed well together. I'm a vegetarian, so I also like the idea of adding cottage cheese to a salad to get protein.

I made this recipe last night and both myself and my husband loved it! It is very good and healthy and I will definitely be making it again soon.

Balsamic Vinaigrette has sugar in it so it is NOT low carb.

total fat grams are a little to high, need to bring down the fat grams by using a lower fat content in the dressing.
