Prepare your workspace.
Wash your hands thoroughly before handling food. Gather a small plate or bowl for the nuts and a knife and cutting board for the orange.

Measure the mixed nuts.
Using a kitchen scale, measure out 40 grams of mixed nuts including almonds, cashews, and walnuts. Place them on your plate or in a small bowl.
Tip: If you don’t have a scale, roughly use about 3 tablespoons of mixed nuts. -
Wash the orange.
Rinse the orange under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues on the peel. Dry it with a clean towel.
Tip: Washing the orange ensures the peel is clean if you plan to zest or handle the peel. -
Peel the orange.
Use your fingers or a small knife to carefully peel away the orange skin. Try to remove all the white pith as it can be bitter.
Tip: Peeling over a bowl can catch any juice that drips. -
Segment the orange.
Gently separate the orange into individual segments by pulling them apart along the natural lines. Remove any seeds you find.
Tip: Segmenting the orange makes it easier and more pleasant to eat. -
Serve and enjoy.
Place the orange segments on the plate with the mixed nuts. Enjoy this fresh, healthy snack immediately to benefit from the best flavor and texture.

Pro tips
- If you prefer, lightly toast the mixed nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes to enhance their flavor.
