Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cup walnut halves
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp reduced-sodium tamari

  • 1/2 cup fresh salsa or pico de gallo

Instructions

  1. Place walnuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, but not ground. Add cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt. Pulse just until blended.
