Steamed Broccoli & Squash w/ Tahini Sauce

Here's another tasty recipe for you to try.  Again, great for you - around 250 calories with the sauce included.  Tons of protein and fiber!  You'll have to forgive my pictures, I was all over the kitchen and only snapped a few. 

Steam 1/2 head of broccoli florets until bright green and tender.  Remove and set aside.  Steam one sliced delicata squash until bright yellow and tender, around 10 minutes.

In a bowl mix 1 cup mixed tender greens, I used kale and spinach, with two teaspoons sliced red cabbage and two teaspoons diced red onion. 

Top with steamed vegetables.  Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1/4 cup tahini sauce (recipe below.)  Enjoy the full serving of hearty vegetables.

Have a great weekend everyone :)
