What is a Pignolia nut, and what can be used as a substitute?

They are also called pine nuts, and there's really nothing to take their

place as they have a mild flavour all their own.

 

I often use walnuts and cashews in salads, so you could try either of

those. I think walnuts and Gorgonzola go well together, personally.
