Pea Shoot and Mixed Green Salad

Over the weekend my mom and I headed over to our local farmers market. Along with a dozen farm fresh eggs we picked up a bag of fresh pea shoots and sunflower shoots... I was so excited!



At that moment I decided we would be having salad for dinner, this way I had an excuse to use my fresh new ingredients. So this is the salad I created, it is just a simple combination of mixed greens, spinach, peas (one of my favourite salad toppings), red pepper, chickpeas and of course the star ingredient pea shoots! The combination was simple, clean and delicious, great for a quick dinner on a warm summer night. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer... what is your favourite summer salad combination?

 

Ingredients:

1 cup mixed greens
1 cup spinach
1/2 cup of peas
handful of red pepper, chopped
approx. 1/4 cup chickpeas
a small handful of pea shoots

1. Combine all ingredients, top with your favourite dressing ( I used my Garlic Oregano Salad Dressing) and enjoy!
