Tips
The dressing is best if made a day ahead of time.
Dry roast nuts in a pan without any oil until browned, stirring constantly.
Or roast at 400 with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs, checking and stirring every 5-10 minutes.Use any cheese you like!
This is a great addition to a brunch.
