Spring Salad with Tamarack Honey Drizzle

One late-spring evening near the shores of Lake Vermillion, in northern Minnesota, Tashia, Dana, and I set out to forage for a community dinner later that night. Right outside our doorstep the tamarack trees offered their beautiful little buds, so tender, sweet, and delicious. We harvested a full pail and then, walking back, discovered a big patch of hopniss nearby.
