Simple steamed broccolini with tahini dressing is one of my favorite, quick and easy vegetable side dish to whip up at a moment's notice. The broccolini becomes crisp tender and mildly sweet with steaming.

Steam the broccolini till crisp tender, 4-5 minutes. Remove the broccolini from the steamer and transfer it to a baking sheet or a large cutting board that's lined with a tea towel or paper towels. Pat the broccolini very dry. Allow it to cool for a few minutes on the towels.

Place the broccolini onto a serving dish (or in a storage container, if you're meal prepping). Dress it well with the tahini dressing; alternatively, plate portions of the broccolini and serve the tahini dressing table-side. Enjoy.
