Vegan day 77: Asparagus with lemon- tahini dressing
For years I have been locked into the combination of asparagus with and a raspberry vinaigrette. Although delicious, it was time to try something new. I almost always pan sear the asparagus or grill them- again both wonderfully flavorful! Today I decided though to simply steam my vegetables – I used asparagus over dandelion greens. Tahini is new found for me so I figured it might go well today with some lemon added in. I was so pleasantly surprised! This recipe makes for a nice snack on its own or can be served with a lean protein for a lunch or dinner meal. Enjoy~
Asparagus with lemon- tahini dressing served over dandelion greens
Asparagus- 2 bunchesDandelion leaves- 1/2 bunch
The dressing
Tahini
Water
Shoyu
Lemon
Garlic
My steamer is rather tall and has two compartments. First I steamed the asparagus for almost 10 minutes in the bottom part and then I put the dandelion in the top part of the steamer for 30 seconds. That’s all it takes folks lol!
The dressing measurements are to my memory- I think it was 2 full tablespoons of tahini (or more), 1T of fresh squeezed lemon juice, a few tablespoons of water, 1t of shoyu (or soy sauce/ tamari would work too) and one finely chopped garlic clove.
