Our chili lime cashew recipe is a fantastic snack to put out for cocktail parties and game day. They’re easy to make, festive in appearance and bright ‘n’ savory.

Even though we used dried red chilies in this recipe, the results aren’t too spicy; there’s just enough kick to get your attention. Fresh lime zest keeps the flavor light and tangy.
