Notes

*you can substitute walnuts with pecans, almonds or pine nuts. Each have their own distinctive taste. Use what suits you.
**if you are unable to find dry ranch seasoning, substitute sour cream with 1/4 cup ranch dressing (the thicker the better). This will make a thinner consistency than sour cream, and may require longer refrigeration time.
