Add your walnuts to a small saucepan over low-medium heat and toast for about 5-7 minutes or until gently browned. Shake the pan every 30 seconds or so to prevent them from burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add the toasted nuts along with the remaining ingredients except the salt and pepper to your food processor or blender.
Pulse lightly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Store in an airtight jar for up to 1 week in the fridge.
