This vibrant vegetable side dish features tender green beans and courgette tossed in a punchy sauce verte. The sauce, a classic French-inspired herb dressing, is packed with fresh basil, parsley, capers and lemon, providing a bright and zesty contrast to the pan-fried greens. It is an excellent way to celebrate seasonal summer produce while keeping the flavours light and sophisticated.
As a versatile vegan dish, these greens pair beautifully with roasted potatoes, grilled proteins or a simple grain salad. The herb sauce can be prepared a day in advance, making it a convenient option for midweek meals or weekend entertaining. Rich in vitamins and refreshing in flavour, this recipe is a healthy homemade addition to any plant-based menu.
