This salad filled with vitamins. But it is highly seasonal, unless you have fresh ramps at your disposal anytime of a year.
I saw them by in Whole Foods other day, and couldn’t pass by, had to take an opportunity to make this salad.
Ramps have intense garlicky taste, if you want to make it less so, add a bit more sour cream to the dressing.
Ingredients:
- About 1/3lb of fresh green ramps
- 1 english cucumber (or 3 baby ones)
- 3 eggs
- 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream
- Mayo to taste
- Salt to taste

this salad looks delicious..but where did you find ramps?where I can buy it?thank you.
I saw them in Market District (by Giant Eagle) last spring and got these in Whole Foods, but I think they are seasonal, appear only in spring, because they already disappeared from Whole Foods. If you have local farmers market, they may have ramps too.
