Broccolini with Spicy Sesame Vinaigrette

This vibrant vegan side dish of tenderstem broccoli with a spicy sesame vinaigrette is a brilliant way to elevate your everyday greens. The broccoli is lightly blanched to maintain its crisp texture and bright colour, then tossed in a punchy, fragrant dressing. By crushing some of the sesame seeds, you release their natural oils, creating a deeply savoury and nutty flavour profile that pairs beautifully with the subtle heat of the red pepper flakes.

Ideal for serving alongside Asian-inspired mains or as part of a healthy midweek spread, this nutritious dish is remarkably versatile. It provides a satisfying crunch and a hit of garlic that complements a wide range of proteins and grains. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or simply looking for a quick, plant-based way to enjoy more greens, this simple recipe is sure to become a kitchen staple.
