June 14, 2019

Recipe

Lemon zest contributes lively flavor and aroma to the sour cream sauce. Walnuts add crunch.

Serves 6

The outermost layer of the lemon, called the zest, is full of essential oils. Remove the zest by grating it with the fine rasps of a hand-held grater.

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Whisk to mix evenly. Cover and chill for several hours.

Divide grapes equally among 6 stemmed dessert glasses or bowls. Add a dollop of sauce to each dish and top with 1/2 tablespoon of chopped walnuts. Serve immediately.

1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
