The walnut vegetable pate serves as an interesting appetiser. Served over toasted bread triangles make a filling starter. Again feel free to experiment with the accompaniment however chose the low calorie options. Walnut being a dry fruit is high in calories and fat, however the fat in it is beneficial for health so no worries. But anything in excess is not bad so is true for these healthy nuts too…hence limit your serving size and have it once in a while.
