Broccolini and Sweet Sesame Salad

17th August 2015

And we're back on the cooking healthily as well! Its been a long time and my body is definitely in need of some vegetable goodness. And this was a perfectly easy place to start and get back into the swing of things. I swear it took me all of 15 minutes from start to finish.

First I started withe the dressing, by mixing sesame oil (in place of the incredibly elusive tahini paste), garlic paste, soy sauce, honey, cider vinegar and salt.

Next, I trimmed the tenderstem broccoli and blanched it in boiling water. Next in went the green beans and then the mange tout. This was well drained and rinsed in a colander. 

The vegetables were tipped into a mixing bowl along with the sesame seeds and the dressing. I prepared some couscous to have with it and voila. A delicious green and filling tea.
