Course: Dip
Keyword: dip, garden, garlic scape, pesto, salad dressing

Equipment

  • 1 Food processor

Ingredients

  • 2-4 garlic scapes roughly chopped
  • 1 cup spinach roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup dill roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small zucchini
  • 1/4-1/2 cup walnuts You can use sunflower seeds or hemp for a nut free version
  • Juice of half of a lemon
  • 1-2 tbsp nutritional yeast or parmesan
  • 1 tsp salt I used Redmond Real Salt
  • 1 splash cold water

Instructions

  • Throw everything but the water into a food processor and run it, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add a bit of cold water as it's running. This helps to keep down the heat of the machine and adds a bit of liquid to the pesto.

Notes

Makes about 1.5 cups. Store in an airtight container for about 4 days. Freeze in cubes for about 3-5 months. Thaw as needed.
