Ingredients
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 200 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not burned. Let them cool completely.
Step 2
In a food processor or blender, add the cooled walnuts and pulse until they are finely ground, resembling a coarse sand-like texture.
Step 3
Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
With the food processor running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil in a steady, thin stream. Continue blending until the mixture thickens into a creamy mayonnaise consistency.
Step 5
If the mayonnaise is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the walnut mayonnaise to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
