Wilted Spinach with Garlic Vinaigrette




I tried ramps last night for the first time. The spinach recipe I wanted to make called for red onions, but the market is full of spring vegetables (i.e. ramps) so I decided to substitute. We enjoyed this recipe. Check out the link to the original recipe because it contains three variations – salad version, baked potato filling, and this wilted version.
