It’s Fogust in San Francisco and nothing can cheer me up, not even a ripe tomato. But a roasted tomato is a different story.

These salty-sweet-hot nuts take minutes to make.

This is healthier than guacamole or any sour cream–based dip. In fact, it’s sort of a super food if you look at the ingredients.

Who knew that brining can work as a flavor-booster for nuts, too.
