Notes

The nutrition estimate is from Spoonacular, which is based mainly on USDA data.
To toast the walnuts, place them in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes, stirring often. Or, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a 350 degree F oven for 3 - 4 minutes. Watch them so they don't burn.
