The texture was great, but I think I added too much lemon juice. It was a bit too tangy/bitter. Otherwise it was very easy to make in my food processor. If you do this with a whisk be prepared to work at it for a long time (I was surprised how long it took to emulsify, ie about 5 min in the processor.)
