You can buy walnut oil which is quite nice in a salad dressing. Also avocado oil, pumpkin seed oil, you wouldn't imagine pumpkin seeds had much oil.
 
I've always been partial to the odd Walnut..but they so full of oil so I don't have many. Mind you I also like Walnut oil and it's really lovely when used in salad dressing.
 
A lot of oil in nuts. Chuck a handful of peanuts in a blender and see what you get. (peanut butter) Sounds like it might work with Walnuts as well?
