Wild leaks aka ramps make an amazing summer salad. I started throwing stuff together and ended up with the best tasting salad EVER! I hope I can remember everything in this recipe so I can make it for a potluck someday, I'm sure it will be a crowd pleaser. I was trying to figure out what to do with the ramps I found, and potato salad kept coming to mind. I started there but ended up getting really creative and I'mvery pleased with the outcome. First I cut up the ramp leaves and bulbs, in my food processor I added the the cut ramps with 1 cup of Earth Balance Butter and 1/4 cup lemon juice, I put it into a sealed container and let that sit over night. I put 1 cup of cashews into a bowl and topped with boiling water, let that sit for 1 hour. I diced 3 red apples, half a purple onion, 1 large dill pickle, 5 stalks of celery, then julienned 1 large carrot. I added that to a large bowl with a can of rinsed and drained chick peas, 1 tablespoon minced garlic and mixed it thoroughly with the ramp butter, I added garlic powder, italian seasoning and dill then placed mixture into the fridge. I boiled 3 large baking potatoes, once cool I diced them and added to the mix. I put 1 cup vegetable oil with 1/2 water and 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and emulsified until smooth- before adding that to my mixture, I drained my cashews and put them into the food prcessor with 1/2 cup of water and 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes and processed until smooth- I poured this onto the mixture first and mixed well then I added the emulsified oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I'm serious you guys, this turned out to be very tasty, I know it will continue to taste better each day too as most summer salads do. 🥄 I will call it "Wild Ramp, Chickpea, Potato Summer Salad" 🌱 - quite a delicious mouthful. 😅 #summersalad #wildleeks #ramps #foragefinds #whatveganseat #vegansalad #chickpeasalad #potatosalad #whatsforlunch #potluckrecipe #recipe #saladrecipe #highprotein #cashewsauce #veganmayo #deliciousness #yum #foodie #veganfoodporn #crueltyfree #plantbased #plantbasedrecipe #nodairy #noegg #nutritionalyeast #foragedfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CAOOP0vJAst/?igshid=68dowwefa2lv
