Ingredients

  • 2 garlic scapes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and dry scapes. Chop into rough pieces. Place in food processor or blender bowl.
  2. Add vinegar, water and salt. Process until scapes are pulverized and very small.
  3. Add mustard, honey and pepper.
  4. Process until smooth.
  5. Drizzle in oil slowly. Until the dressing emulsifies. Start with 3/4 cup oil and adjust according to your tastes.

Notes

  • You can use regular dijon mustard but we find the honey dijon has a great flavor.
  • Choose a mild flavored oil. Vegetable, grapeseed, light olive oil, sunflower, etc.
  • We like white wine vinegar but you can substitute champagne vinegar, white vinegar or red wine vinegar instead.
  • Dressing will last 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator.
  •  
  •  
  • Make sure the garlic scapes are really pulverized or your dressing will be chunky.
  • Use a mild flavored oil so that you don’t overwhelm the flavor of the garlic.
  • Pour oil in slowly so that it has a chance to emulsify.
  • Best if made a few hours ahead of using it so the flavors have a chance to combine.
  • You can use a little more vinegar or a little less oil depending on how your family likes salad dressing.
  • Use it as a marinade for chicken, beef or pork chops to tenderize the meat and give it a delicious garlicky flavor.
  • Use it on green salads or on dinner salads with your favorite proteins.
  • Add dressing to potato salad.
  • Add it to macaroni salad.
  • Replace the apple cider vinegar in coleslaw for an extra garlic zing.
