We spent Mother’s Day in the Catskills at my parents’ lake house—not far from my grandparents’ bungalow I visited growing up. This time of year, the area is overflowing with ramps. They even grow by the side of the road.

what we’re in the market for

For the uninitiated: ramps are wild onions, similar to scallions and leeks, with a milder flavor. If you're in the Northeast, you don’t have to forage them yourself—ramps are all over farmers markets and even on FreshDirect. Maybe you remember them from these tacos a few weeks ago?

There are still about 5 minutes of ramp season left, so grab them while you can. Today’s recipes put the seasonal greens in the spotlight, with easy swaps if you can’t find them near you. Perfect for dinner and lunch the next day. Here’s what’s on the menu:

  • Ramp & Chicken Meatballs with Ramp Pesto

  • Farro Salad with Ramps & Spring Veggies

  • Ramp Pasta Salad
