Steamed Broccolini with Japanese Sesame Ginger Dressing
I thought I’d share with you a really easy dressing which you can use to make your greens taste wonderful.
I was inspired to share this recipe after a recent visit to a lovely Japanese restaurant. They served it cold and it was delish! I personally like my veggies warm (especially in winter) so I made a warm version and also added some ginger. It took only 10 minutes to prepare (even shorter if you steam the veggies in the microwave).
By the way, I just finished watching What The Health on Netflix. Such an eye-opening! I highly recommend this movie if you need some encouragement to eat more veggies.
I use broccolini in this one but you can use any greens you like. You can also double or triple the batch for the sauce for bigger servings of veggies.
