A good pairing. Cooks put them together in 15 recipes, and they share 184 flavor molecules: the top 13% of all ingredient pairs. We hold little distinguishing chemistry for one of them, so the recipe count carries this verdict.

Almost always mains: 1 of the 1 recipes with a course label are mains.
Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Almost all of mixed nuts's flavor molecules (184 of 184) are also found in celery, but celery has 208 that mixed nuts lacks. Mixed nuts gives you part of celery's character without most of its herbal side. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
