This unique artichoke garlic scape pesto is a delicious, healthy appetizer. This recipe is the perfect dip for chips or vegetables.
I’ve been introduced to lots of new foods ever since I joined a local farm share. Garlic scapes are one of the many things I didn’t know existed before joining a CSA. These stalks of the garlic plant look a bit like giant scallions, but they taste like mild garlic.
This unique pesto is a great way to use garlic scapes. I mellow them out a bit by mixing them with artichoke hearts and walnuts. The flavor is perfect for garlic fans, and it’s a delicious, healthy dip recipe for chips, pita bread, or veggies. Try this artichoke garlic scape pesto during the brief season when garlic scapes are available.
