Dinner: 086	Sprouts (Pea Shoots) & Smoked Chicken Salad
Klaus Stories of Members The Books Community Supported Agriculture	Dinner A light and healthy summer delight. Although unusual to find the pea shoots at a farmer market get them whenever possible.	Served This refreshing summer salad is a treat for lovers of natural fibers. The very tender pea leaves having a mild pea flavor, the peas and the mango sweetens the fibrous texture of the shoot stems.

Klaus The pea shoots provided an interesting cooking experience. I’ll must find out how to grow them by myself since they are very expensive in a local health food store. Smoking the brown tofu chicken was easy by just sprinkling with Liquid Smoke and then coating by tossing with pan.	Pea Shoots	Pea Shoots are just pea sprouts
	Sprinkling “chicken” with Liquid Smoke	Another way of assembly: Ingredients piled up first before folding into pea shoots
Klaus Any micro-green sprout and any other ingredient available will due. One can’t go wrong with this salad.	Buckwheat & sunflower sprouts With mushrooms and mandarins segments	Served
Klaus The mixed sprouts contained this time also chive shoots that added a new dimension to these micro-green. Their intense onion flavor grave a refreshing bite to the more traditional (unsweetened) peach and mushroom accompaniments. A fat-free balsamic raspberry dressing and strawberry decoration crowned the salad.	Micro-greens with chives	Cut unsweetened canned peaches
