Once softened, squeeze out the excess water by hand and place the bread in a food processor. Add the walnuts and garlic cloves and blend until completely smooth. For a fluffy texture, the mixture must be well blended. Add the vinegar and olive oil in a thin stream as the food processor runs. If the dip is too thick for your taste, thin it out with a bit of water. Season to taste with salt and adjust the vinegar if needed. Tips This dip can be prepared in a food processor or a mortar and pestle. You can use walnuts or almonds. Walnuts don’t need soaking, as they blend easily. Use fresh, high-quality nuts. If they taste rancid, that flavor will carry through the dip. Store the dip in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator. It keeps well for several days, and the garlic flavor intensifies over time. If the dip becomes too strong after a few days, stir in a little olive oil to mellow it out.
