Here I am in my own personal episode of CHOPPED, which takes place in my kitchen, with a bunch of garlic scapes from my CSA and parsley from my garden that might be mistaken for a green mountain. The plant is so big!

I decide to combine the two for a dynamite summer dip.

Garlic scapes are the flower stems that garlic plants produce before the bulbs mature. Scapes have a milder taste than garlic, very fresh and summery. You can use them raw in salads or you can cook them like green onions. Some people compare scapes to asparagus.

I also used some of my CSA scapes in a stir fry and they were great there too!

I actually don't care for sour cream, so I use fake stuff. I used this dip for an extra zip on veggie burgers, in wraps, and a dip for pitas. Delish!
