Here's a little surprise we got in our Washington's Green Grocers box last week: Pea Shoots!
They sort of look like sprouts so we put them on our favorite portabello mushroom burger in lieu of lettuce and it was great! It's probably closer to a spinach substitute than a lettuce/spouts substitute because of its stronger flavor and texture, but what a great little green! I think it will be great mixed into salads, tossed in pasta, and substituted in for lettuce/sprouts (like in our yummy chicken salad sandwich!)
So if you see these little babies at the farmer's market or supermarket, it's definitely worth a try.
