Dry Roasted & Salted Pistachio Nutmeats Halves & Pieces

I love mixing up a variety of nuts when I make baklava. The different textures and flavors really make it something special! I always use walnuts, almonds, and especially pistachios - this time I also added some pecans. I also really like sprinkling ground, raw pistachios on top because they add a lovely bright green pop of color. I don’t mind using roasted pistachios in the filling, as I did here, but I skip them for the topping because they lose that vibrant color and turn into a not-so-nice brownish green. #greekvegan #baklava #dessert #vegandessert

Pistachios are such delicious nuts! I bought these roasted and salted pieces to use in homemade chocolate bark. The pre-shelled and split pieces are convenient to use, crunchy, tasty and lightly salted. Nuts can be quite expensive but Trader Joe’s has relatively reasonable prices for a variety of nuts and seeds. $5.99 for 8 oz #pistachio #nuts #traderjoes
