Pine Nut and Basil Guacamole image

Guacamole is typically a Mexican dish, but that doesn't mean you can't try to make it with other global flavors. For an Italian-inspired basil guacamole recipe, top it off with toasted pine nuts and fresh herb ribbons. You can also substitute the traditional lime for lemon juice.-Taste of Home Test Kitchen

I'm allergic to pine nuts, so I substituted chopped walnuts. The guacamole still turned out great!

The guacamole was good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more lime juice or cilantro.

This guacamole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
