It’s super easy to conjure up something simple, and yet so delicious that it satiates all the senses. Our holiday nut mix is going to make you the hit of all your upcoming parties. It will also take the stress out of what to bring when you’re invited to a gathering. Easy and quick to prepare, you can keep everything you need on hand all season long. 

Our recipe is also healthy, so there’s no need to feel like you’re adding to the typical seasonal carb overload. In this mix you have sweetness from dried fruits, flakey sea salt to balance out the sweetness and bring out the best flavor profile in the nuts, and a combo of raw and toasted nuts which highlight a wonderful spectrum of tastes and textures in every bite. 

We wish you the bounty of the season. And good health.

Ingredients
raw cashews
raw macadamia nuts
toasted pecans
toasted, salted pistachios
dried figs
dried apricots
dried cherries
flakey sea salt

Recipe 
In a dry pan, toast raw pecans over medium heat until they smell nutty. You could also toast half of the macadamia nuts if you choose. Set the nuts aside to cool. Chop dried figs and dried apricots into healthy, bite-sized pieces and place them in their own bowl. Add the dried cherries to the fruit mix. 

When the nuts are cool, in a separate bowl, add whole pecans, toasted, salted pistachios, raw (and toasted) mac nuts, and raw cashews in mostly even proportions to make up the nut mixture. Add flakey sea salt to the dried fruit mix before you add the dried fruit to the nut mixture. Toss the dried fruit and salt to distribute the salt evenly.

In your final mix, add about one-third of the amount of dried fruits to the total amount of nuts. Toss everything together and add a bit more flakey sea salt to taste, if desired. Store your mixture in a glass container. If storing the prepared nut mix in the fridge or freezer to enjoy later, we keep our nut mixture separate and add the dried fruit mixture when ready to serve.

Get ready to be the toast of the town. Just add something sparkly to drink and you’re ready to party. Off you go to a fabulous, healthy holiday season.
