For the arugula salad
- 8 cups fresh spring greens (arugula, mizuna, red lettuce, etc)
- 1 cup pea shoots
- 1 cup edamame (or fresh peas)
- 1 handful fresh mint (optional)
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- Parmesan cheese

- In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the walnuts, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Make sure to watch them constantly so they do not burn.
