How To Make pea shoots & strawberry salad w/balsamic reduction

Step 1

Pour the balsamic vinegar and honey into a small saucepan. Place over a low heat and reduce until ½ its original volume. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. The mixture will thicken as it cools.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the cucumber. Hull the strawberries and slice thinly.
Step 3

Place the pea shoots and spring greens in a salad bowl with the cucumber and strawberries; lightly season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction just before serving. Don't drench the vegetables and fruit with the dressing!
Step 4

We served the salad with slices of grilled ciabatta slathered with chevre.
