This is one of the most interesting and delicious pesto alternatives that you will ever taste. The recipe is super simple and the hardest part might be finding the garlic scapes themselves. Use as you would traditional pesto.

Ingredients

  • garlic scapes: 1 cup (roughly chopped)
  • lemon: 1 piece (juiced)
  • white wine vinegar: 1 Tbsp
  • kosher salt: 0.5 tsp (to taste)
  • olive oil: 0.25 cup
  • canola oil: 0.25 cup
  • walnuts: 0.5 cup (toasted)
