Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you are a bit of a gardener, it's easy to harvest your own pea, broad bean or mangetout shoots to use in a salad, or you can now buy Vitacress (vitacress.com) pea shoots all ready to go in Sainsbury's. They have such a great flavour and you can either serve them on their own or in a mix with other leaves.
2-3 handfuls of pea shoots or tendrils, washed
6 spring onions, thinly sliced on the slant
1tbsp cider vinegar
tsp Dijon or Tewkesbury mustard
4tbsp rapeseed oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Whisk the cider vinegar, mustard and rapeseed oil together and season. Mix the pea shoots and spring onions together and place in a salad bowl and spoon the dressing over just before serving.
