I thought this was going to be too vinegary but it has a nice flavor - a little bit tangy but not too overpowering. The peas give it a nice crunch. I didn't have enough pea shoots so I supplemented with some bibb lettuce.
Pea Shoot Salad with Radishes and Pickled Onion
With a faint pea flavor, pea shoots are lovely in salads, stir-fries, pizzas, and soups. Look for them at farm stands or Asian markets in spring, and get them while you can–their flavor turns bitter at the end of the growing season.
