Cannellini Bean and Ramp Salad

By Seth Fera-Schanes

I put this dish together to use one of my favorite ingredients: ramps.

Canellini Bean and Ramp Salad

Ingredients:
1.5 cups of prepared Cannellini Beans. (Or 1 15oz can Cannellini beans – rinsed)
3 fresh ramps, grilled or cooked in a cast iron skillet and chopped.  If ramps are not in season, you can substitute with green onions (scallions)
1 cup grape tomatoes cut in half and grilled on one side until caramelized
1-2 tbsp cilantro – chopped
1-2 tbsp pickled ramps – chopped
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper

Serving size: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

Directions:
Add all ingredients into a glass bowl and fold to incorporate. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Ratio should be 3 parts oil to 1 part oil. Fold ingredients one more time, cover and allow to sit in refrigerator for at least an hour to marinate.
