Sweet pea & pecorino salad

A lot of people don't realise that pea shoots are the best part of the pea plant to eat. They make a wonderful salad 'leaf'. If you can't get hold of them, then use a mixture of rocket and baby spinach leaves instead. Also, the point of this salad is that you use fresh, raw peas. If you can't get them, then make a different salad.
