Spring Clean Bowl with Wilted Greens, Cannelini Beans and Walnut Aioli

I love this hearty bowl filled with delicious springtime flavors. It is perfect as a main dish because it has a good balance of healthy protein, fats, fiber and complex carbs. I spotted these gorgeous pea shoots at whole foods which are baby pea plants packed with vitamins A, C and folic acid. If you can’t find pea shoots, try substituting with spinach leaves, arugula or baby romaine leaves. The celery in the beans not only adds crunch and lots of flavor, but also contains antioxidants and is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. What really makes this dish special, however, is the walnut aioli, which is pretty much to die for. You can also try making it with blanched almonds.
