Method
- Chop the Pecans: Begin by finely chopping the roasted pecans. If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the pecans in a food processor until finely ground.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped pecans, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined.
- Season to Taste: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup or balance the flavor with a pinch of salt, if desired.
- Chill: Let the pecan maple mayonnaise sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Use as a spread for sandwiches, a dressing for salads, or a dip for veggies.
Notes
Storage: Store the pecan maple mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Customization: Feel free to experiment with other nuts like walnuts or almonds for a different flavor. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
Vegan Option: For a vegan version, substitute the mayonnaise with a plant-based alternative like vegan mayo or cashew cream.
Consistency Tip: If the mayonnaise is too thick, you can thin it out by adding a teaspoon of water or plant-based milk to achieve the desired consistency.
