Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Place the walnuts in a large skillet and toast over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant, tossing them every few minutes. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly.
- Step 2
Place the carrot tops, lemon juice, walnuts and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Step 3
With the processor running, add the oil through the feed tube, scraping the sides of the bowl again as necessary, until the sauce has reached the desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Enjoy!
