So, it’s not absolutely necessary to go out and buy one.

BUT, I do believe that this recipe would be even tastier if you used one!

Therefore, if you decide that it’s worth the investment and you can use it for other healthy recipes, here’s a great one!

Where To Find Panini Sandwich Ingredients

I found all of the ingredients at my local Weis Grocery store.

Although, sometimes pine nuts are hard to find.

To make life just a little bit easier, I found these Raw Pine Nuts on Amazon.

The bag is 1 lb and has gotten great reviews.
