This is a salad I first made for my son when he was cooking Umami burgers for us. Since, Eugenia Bone selected it for the Fantastic Fungi Community Cookbook. —Sagegreen

Because I must follow a low oxalate diet I substituted bok choi for the ramp and adjusted the cooking time accordingly. The truffle oil makes the dish. Very good!
