This recipe is from my Vegan meal plan – what elevates a bowl of veg like this is a delicious dressing. This tahini one is so creamy and fresh it really complements the green vegetables.

The Recipe

Ingredients

150g quinoa

1 broccoli head, chopped

100g kale, stalks removed

100g edamame beans

2 spring onions, chopped

1 carrot, grated

1 tbsp sesame seeds

For the tahini dressing: 2 tbsp tahini

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 tbsp cold water

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp tamari or soy sauce

½ lime, juiced

Directions

Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Cover with 350ml water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil then simmer for 12 minutes until cooked through. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli for 7 minutes then add the kale and edamame and steam for a further 3 minutes until they are cooked through. Stir your dressing ingredients together in a small jar. Mix the quinoa with the broccoli, kale, edamame, grated carrots and spring onions, then top with sesame seeds and tahini dressing. Save half the dressing for tomorrow’s portion – this one’s best poured fresh.
