Add the walnuts to a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly chop. Add all the remaining ingredients except the olive oil to the food processor. Run the processor while streaming in the olive oil. Continue to run for several minutes until everything is combined (scrape down the sides as you go). Season as desired.

Serve with chicken, pasta or fish!
