Adding tomatoes, fresh herbs, and pea shoots to a simple bowl of tossed greens boosts its nutrient content. Dressing it with monounsaturated-rich olive oil supplies even more. Pea shoots are the small leaves and tendrils from pea plants, most often snow peas. They're a good source of vitamin A. Substitute mâche if your local market doesn't stock pea shoots. To save time, use 1/3 cup chopped herb salad mix in place of the chive, thyme, and tarragon; look for it near the other packages of fresh herbs. Ingredients:
4 cups gourmet salad greens |
1 1/2 cups fresh pea shoots (about half of a container) |
1 cup red cherry tomatoes, halved |
1 cup yellow cherry tomatoes, halved |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon |
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar |
2 teaspoons honey |
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Place first 7 ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently to combine. 2. Combine vinegar and the next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a small bowl. Gradually add oil, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle vinegar mixture over greens mixture; toss gently to coat. |
