This homemade walnut spread is a flavorful and nutritious alternative to store-bought options. With a hint of citrus and a touch of seasoning, it’s perfect for spreading on toast, pairing with cheese, or using as a dip.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups walnuts
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil (as needed for creaminess)
Instructions:
- Add walnuts, salt, black pepper, and orange zest to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add olive oil 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches a creamy consistency.
- Transfer the spread to a sterilized jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
