Melt chocolate, butter and pinch of salt in double boiler. In a large mixing bowl cream together sugar, eggs and vanilla. Gradually add chocolate mixture to the sugar, continuing to mix well. Toss the nuts with a small amount of the flour to prevent them from falling to the bottom of the batter. Fold in the flour and flour coated nuts. Place batter in a well greased and floured 9" square pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 - 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and garnish with a fresh strawberry.
