Ramp Pesto
I love spring... it is beyond exciting! The days grow longer, the buds are starting to bloom & a new wave of produce begins to grow. The best indication that spring has sprung is the appearance of ramps. Nutrient rich, this vegetable has a distinct onion & garlic flavor. Unfortunately their season is short, but sweet!
