Concept behind the dish:
My favorite guacamole recipe growing up came from a kids cookbook. The dish was simple: ripe avocado, chopped tomatoes, chopped green onion, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt.

I wanted to replicate this simple guacamole using ramps which have a natural onion and garlic flavor. The flavor profile of the ramps allowed me to replace the green onion and garlic powder in the recipe from my childhood.
