This is a favorite to have for a large group . People always love it .Thanks for posting here as I could not find my Moosewood cookbook this morning. AND I double the veggies and in a pinch have substituted just what I have on hand. Including substituting pumpkin and sunflower seeds for the nuts. carrots for the water chestnuts' crunch. AND I do love the original ingredients the best.
