How To Use Leftovers: Pea Greens

When most people think of peas, they think of a small circular vegetable, not leafy refreshing pea greens (or pea shoots, as they're commonly known) from our share. These crisp and clean greens will change the way you view peas forever! Very similar to spinach, pea greens are the perfect side dish. You can simply sautée them in garlic and oil, or tossed into your favorite pasta or salad. Here are creative some ways to use your leftover pea greens from last week!
