With plant-based eating becoming more mainstream, the time is ripe to highlight easy menu solutions for animal-alternative dishes.

This eduction session will showcase the versatility of California Walnuts as a main ingredient and simple steps to prepare menu applications from breakfast to dinner, such as a vegan walnut “chorizo” taco, and a vegan walnut “cream” to replace dairy in soups and sauces.   Recipe samples will be provided along with a new walnut product showcase.  

California Walnuts are a great option in plant-forward menuing as they have wonderful crunch and a mild, nutty flavor that adapts well to an assortment of recipes from breakfast to dinner.  California Walnuts provide a range of essential nutrients, protein and vitamins that are important for good health, and are the only tree nut that offer an excellent source of the plant-based omega-3 ALA at 2.5 grams per ounce.  https://walnuts.org/food-professionals/
