Roasted broccoli and tahini dressing
Roasting broccoli is a good way to intensify its taste, and this creamy but healthy dressing sets it off beautifully. You could serve the dressing as a dip with the broccoli alongside, or drizzle it over the top. Add more lemon if you like a more piquant taste. This goes especially well with salmon and chicken, or makes a light vegetarian meal stirred into quinoa.
