Ramps (Wild Leeks) and Prosciutto Salad

• 1 12 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally to form thin 2-inch ovals
• 12 teaspoon salt, divided
• 12 cup water
• 18 ramps, bulbs washed and trimmed (white part only)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
• honey mustard dressing (either store bought or your own recipe)

1. Bring carrots 1/4 teaspoon salt and water to a boil in a medium fry pan.

4. When completely drained and cool, place in a bowl and drizzle with honey mustard salad dressing.
5. Skewer the ramps bulbs on metal skewers, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and place on a charcoal grill or under the broiler.
6. Cook, turning frequently, about 10 minutes, or until the outer skin is lightly charred in patches.
7. Set aside; when cool to the touch, remove from skewers and slice each bulb in half lengthwise.
8. Set aside.
9. Divide the prosciutto among six plates and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
