When you open our fridge at any given time of the year, you will always find a few staples. Homemade hummus and salsa are always there. Having quick and easy snacks ready are a perfect way to keep away hangry moods.
However, the changing seasons also give us changing flavors for our snacks. With a little time and preparation on the weekend, we are set with fresh dips for the week.
This salsa is particularly is one of my favorites and one that I always I look forward to in the early summer. Garlic scapes are not as well-known as their cloved relative, but they are just as delicious. Their garlic flavor is milder than regular garlic but they have an irresistible fresh crunch. They are the perfect addition to a spring salsa.
