Something different that's great for picnics. My family begs for it all year!
Parmesan-Encrusted Pine Nuts
This recipe for candied pine nuts with Parmesan is my near-perfect attempt at replicating a delicious salad topper I had recently at a restaurant. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese, dressing, mixed croutons, and these Parmesan-encrusted pine nuts. They're sweet, savory, nutty, and delicious!
