Rate this RecipeIngredients
- 1 Simply Wholesome Pantry Lentils & Ancient Grains Instant Nourish Bowl
- 2 broccolini bunches, trimmed
- 1 cup snow peas trimmed
- 2 cups edamame beans frozen, podded & thawed
- 5 spring onions sliced on the diagonal
- 1/2 fennel bulb very finely sliced
- salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
Dressing:
- 85 g white sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons kewpie mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2-3 teaspoons honey or pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat SWP grains pouch in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Let cool for a minute and break up with a fork.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add the broccolini and cook for 2 minutes. Throw in the snow peas and blanch them for 1 minute until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
- On to the salad. Combine the broccolini, snow peas, edamame, spring onion and fennel in a large bowl.
- Now for the sweet sesame dressing. Place a large frying pan over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Toast the seeds, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn, for 5-6 minutes until fragrant and golden. Tip them onto a plate to stop the cooking process.
- Transfer 3 tablespoons of the toasted seeds to a small blender – or use a mortar and pestle and grind them into a fine crumb. Set the remaining toasted seeds aside. Pour the crumb into a small bowl, then add the other dressing ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust the flavours as needed and add 1-2 tablespoons of water if you would like a thinner consistency.
- Drizzle the sweet sesame dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Sprinkle the reserved toasted sesame seeds on top and season to taste. Serve immediately.
