Herbed White Bean Hummus


Ingredients
Serves 2

2 cups cooked white beans or canned, no-salt added or low-sodium white beans
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp unhulled sesame seeds
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp water
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme

Directions
Blend the beans, lemon juice, sesame seeds, vinegar, mustard, and water in a high-powered blender or food processor until smooth. Add the basil and thyme and pulse very briefly. Do not over-process; the herbs should be visible in small pieces.

Broccoli Vinaigrette

Broccoli Vinaigrette
  • 1 large head broccoli

Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel stems and slice them into ¼-inch-thick strips. Steam florets and stems for 8 minutes, or until just tender.

While the broccoli is steaming, whisk remaining ingredients in large bowl.
Add broccoli and toss to mix.
