This guacamole version can be the favorite of those who are fans of the dried fruits as it is not only prepared with walnuts... also a few almonds are used to accentuate the dried flavors.
And like all the guacamoles also many more ingredients are used to make a feast of flavors.
Although this guacamole has the particularity of providing contrasting textures as the avocado is smooth like butter while the nuts and the almonds are hard, rough and crispy. You will love this game of textures!
The walnut guacamole is an exquisite snack accompanied of some tasty fried tortilla chips or over a toast accompanying a tuna salad.

Cut Some Ingredients
Dice 1/4 of an onion, then reserve.
Remove the seeds and the veins of 1/2 jalapeno pepper.
Finely chop the 1/2 jalapeno pepper with the one you worked and reserve it.
Work with the Walnuts, the Almonds and the Avocados
Crack 10 walnuts with a nutcracker, extract its pulp and put it in a blender.
Also add in the blender 5 almonds.
Blend slightly the ingredients and reserve.
It is looked for the walnuts and the almonds to end up into small chunks so the guacamole has more textures.
Scoop out the pulp of 4 avocados and put it in a bowl; reserve 1 avocado pit.
Mash with a fork the avocados’ pulp that was put in the bowl, until having the consistency of a puree.
