This pesto is a delicious way to use up all the inner leaves and stalks in a head of celery. Try it, I promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Pulse the following ingredients in a food processor or blender until just short of being a puree:

1 cup celery leaves & tender inner stalks
1 cup green onion, white & green parts
2 cups parsley
1/2 cup roasted garlic
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil in slow stream just until mixture holds together.

Use pesto to make:

  • Sandwich spread in place of mayo.
  • Milder sandwich spread: mix pesto and mayo.
  • Spoon over fish, chicken, steak, pork, or turkey.
