Notes

  • Buying Avocados: It's best to buy avocados close to the time you plan to serve. If it's a bit firm one to days ahead is fine.
  • Toasting Walnuts: If you have untoasted walnuts, spread them out on a pan and toast for 6-8 minutes in the oven at 350° F.
  • Storing: For best results store all the leftover ingredients separately. The leftover hummus will last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Pack up the veggies in another container and keep for 2-3 days. If the avocado is cut, brush the top with some olive oil or squeeze a lemon over the top and store for one day.
  • Make It Cheesy: You can add feta cheese or goat cheese to your stuffed avocado.
