fiddlehead ferns, cleaned and trimmed

Steam the fiddleheads over boiling water for about five minutes, or
until they are crispy-tender. Drain them and place them immediately
into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let them sit for only
about 30 seconds to a minute, then transfer them to paper towels to
drain.
Whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard,
horseradish, ramps, and salt and pepper together in a bowl.
Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Serve the fiddleheads
topped with the sauce.
