Description
Get your greens in with this saucy side that’s oil-free with a creamy dijon tahini dressing. Perfect to complement your holiday spread.
Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans, rinsed and trimmed
Dijon Tahini
- 2 TBSP runny tahini
- 1/2 lemon, squeezed
- 1/4 cup hot water + more to thin
- 1 tsp Sir Kensington’s Dijon Mustard
- pinch of Himalayan sea salt
- pinch of black pepper
- Sesame seeds, for serving
Instructions
- Add the washed and trimmed green beans to a pot of boiling water and cook them for 3-5 minutes, until they’re vibrant green and just fork tender. Pour them into a colander to strain immediately and rinse with cool water. Set aside.
- Prepare the dijon tahini sauce by adding all ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisking by hand until smooth. Add more hot water as needed to reach desired consistency. It should be thick but pourable.
- To serve, add the warm green beans to a platter and pour the dijon tahini over the beans. Serve them immediately with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Store the leftover green beans and tahini sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
