Obviously you can use whatever greens or veggies you prefer here - the sauce and the toasted almonds make this a royal dish!! It's incredibly healthy and incredibly yummy - perfect for after the gym when you really don't want anything heavy. I often just eat this with nothing else - but if I'm more hungry, with dahl or naan bread. Also makes a great unusual veg dish for dinner parties. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sliced almonds |
12 asparagus spears |
250 g broccoli, broken into florets |
2 zucchini, chopped into 4cm lengths |
150 g baby beans |
100 g snow peas |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
Directions:
1. Heat a small non stick fry pan over medium heat. Add almonds and toss for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Set aside.
2. Place asparagus, broccoli, zucchini and beans in a steamer and steam for 5 minutes, add snow peas for a further minute or until tender.
3. Transfer to a bowl and toss gently with oil and balsamic vinegar.
4. Scatter with almonds and serve immediately.
