# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes five minutes and zero cooking, so you can focus on actually enjoying your guests instead of sweating over the stove.
- Everyone finds something they love in the mix, and it disappears faster than you'd think possible.
02 -
- Fresh nuts make all the difference. If they smell or taste even slightly off, the whole mix suffers. Buy from a store with good turnover and store any extras in the freezer.
- Chopping larger dried fruits like apricots ensures every handful is balanced. Nobody wants to fish around for the good stuff.
03 -
- Taste your nuts before adding them. Rancid nuts will ruin the whole batch, and you won't realize until it's too late.
- If you want a little extra flavor, toast your nuts lightly in a dry pan before mixing. The aroma alone will make you want to skip dinner and just eat this.
