Pea Shoot Salad with Sardines, Fire Roasted Peppers, and Kohlrabi - Recipe

     I enjoy eating pea shoots and making up fun salads to go with them.  This one is super nutritious with sardines, kohlrabi, grape tomatoes, and fire roasted peppers.  I dressed it with thick balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese.

    Pea shoots have a sweet pea taste so they are especially enjoyable to eat.  The kohlrabi has a broccoli rabe flavor and texture, and is crisp and fresh.   Kohlrabi is also known as German turnip or turnip cabbage.  I have tried shaving it which is pretty, and here I cut it into match stick pieces which is fun to eat.  Sardines are an easy way to get protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron, potassium, vitamin B12, Vitamin D, selenium, and omega 3's.  I like those little nutritional power houses.  If you haven't tried them give them a try.  I prefer them to tuna.

     As always I use organic vegetables as much as possible.  Even the fire roasted peppers I found organic.  I found a jar of yellow and red peppers, fire roasted and ready to use!
