Preparation

For each respective nut, roughly chop and combine with olive oil in a small skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in honey, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Adjust flavors to taste.
Break up cheese into pieces or thinly slice. Cut fruit into wedges or slices and place on a plate or platter of your choosing. Sprinkle with salt. Add pieces of cheese, spoon over the dressed nuts, and serve.

Tips

Amounts for the dressed nuts can all be made/adjusted to taste. Keep in mind that if you’re using salted nuts you might not need to add any extra salt.
