Walnuts are used in a variety of dishes including cookies, cakes, breads, salads, pasta, and sauces. They are also used in snack mixes and desserts. Their nutty flavor pairs well with both sweet ingredients like chocolate and savory ingredients like vegetables.

Almonds, pecans, or cashews are common substitutes for walnuts in recipes. These nuts provide similar texture and richness. Choose a substitute based on the flavor you prefer, and use the same amount as the original recipe unless otherwise specified.
