California Walnuts | Essential Food for Health
Foodservice Recipes
The California walnut is an incredibly versatile ingredient that goes well with sweet and savory foods from a wide variety of world cuisines. Dubbed “the new crouton” walnuts are a signature ingredient in many salads. They also add flavor and crunch to many baked items, from artisan breads to decadent desserts. We’re seeing them in sushi, soup, sauces and salads as well as in pie, pasta and pizza.
Our small but growing foodservice recipe collection contains recipes from top chefs, culinary school instructors, and foodservice professionals who use walnuts in both traditional and innovative ways.

Fruity California Walnut Salad
Kids love this salad! It's colorful, nutritious and fun to eat. You can use fresh grapes in place of the raisins to add even more color. Schools can use commodity products (pineapple, raisins, walnuts and yogurt) to make this a very cost-effective menu item.
