That sounds really good! Did you see, TJ's has these cashews with a chili-lime flavoring? They are my staple for driving I-5... A few of these cashews would add a bit of zing to this. No idea if it would work, might overpower everything else (they are VERY flavorful), but it could be worth an experiment.
