Pea shoots are great by themselves as a snack…but here are some ideas for how to use this delicious, sweet microgreen:

• In a salad, either alone or mixed with other greens. Top with:
  • Chopped apples, crumbled blue cheese, toasted walnuts and a sweet vinaigrette
  • Shredded cheddar, chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado and honey mustard dressing
  • Shredded or chopped carrots, cucumbers, radishes, croutons and Caesar dressing
  • Small cubes of cooked butternut squash, chopped pecans, roasted sunflower seeds and a red wine vinaigrette
  • Anything you want!
• In a sandwich
• On top of pizza…sprinkle on hot pizza and let pea shoots wilt just a bit
• In an omelet
• Add a handful to a bowl and pour soup over them – they’re so tender they don’t really need any cooking time
• In a smoothie
