Charred Garlic Scape Tortellini Salad

Char your garlic scapes

Trim the hard ends off your garlic scapes. Ensure they are very dry before adding them to a large pan over medium high heat. Char both sides of the scapes - about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make your dressing

Thinly slice charred scapes and add to a bowl. You want about a cup total once they're sliced. Add 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Make your salad
