Preheat the oven to 225°F (110°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy.

Add lemon juice and salt, then continue beating until soft peaks form.

Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.

Mix in vanilla extract and cornstarch gently until combined.

Fold in chopped walnuts carefully to maintain the meringue's volume.

Spoon or pipe meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small rounds.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours until dry and crisp.

Turn off the oven and let the meringues cool inside for at least 1 hour.

Once cool, carefully remove from parchment and store in an airtight container.
