I would like to first mention that those who are afraid of the fat content in this recipe, shouldn't be! You only need a very thin layer to taste it, and it is packed with omega-3 fatty acids - that's the good fat! This was easy to make and I did like it, but I felt like it was missing something. I brought it to a potluck and some really liked it and others thought it tasted odd. I think garlic would be a really good addition. After talking to a few people I think that I should have toasted the walnuts first. I usually use walnuts raw, and since the recipe doesn't specify, it didn't even occur to me. I will be trying this again with toasted walnuts. Thank you!
