This Walnut Gremolata is a fresh, flavorful topping made with walnuts, parsley, lemon zest, and garlic. A simple, heart-healthy way to elevate vegetables, grilled meats, and pasta.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup tightly packed fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the parsley and garlic.
  2. Toast the walnuts. In a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they’re lightly golden and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them, as walnuts can go from toasted to burnt quickly. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before chopping and using in the gremolata.
  3. Grate the lemon zest.
  4. Combine everything in one bowl. Stir in the olive oil if using, then season with black pepper.
  5. Mix until evenly combined and taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
