Nuts.
Melt a bit of butter and some brown sugar in a pan. Add black pepper, a bit of tobasco and whatever else sounds good. Add walnuts or pecans and coat. Place coated nuts on foil and put in toster oven and bake at 400 , stirring occasionally, until "you smell nuts". If you are in a hurry, you can toast them as well, but stir often.
The nuts MAKE a salad - especially with gorgonzola, bitter greens, apples, pears or other fruit, and a balsamic, walnut oil, gorgonzola dressing (with lots of cracked pepper). I make several versions of this salad. Using fennel, greens, oranges (or other citrus), goat cheese and almonds with a citrus vinegarette) is also good.
