Spring vegetable/30 recipes

The earthy beets, spicy basil, creamy goat cheese and sour-sweet balsamic glaze make this salad with complimentary layers of flavors and textures.

I did prefer a tenderer texture, so I steamed green beans for a few minutes, then cooked in the pan with all the spices. Still had great flavour and tender-crisp texture.

Simply blanched the rapini, then a quick stir-fry with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar. The simply tasty dish can be served as a side dish or toss with cooked pasta to make a meal.
