Ingredients:

Dressing

Vegetables

These vegetables can be varied according to what is in season — you require about 1kg

Salad

150g beansprouts
1 dessert apple, quartered, decored and sliced
1 medium orange, peeled and cut into segments
1 small lime, peeled and cut into segments
100g California Raisins
200g block of tofu, cut into small cubes (can also use hard boiled eggs, cooked chicken or feta cheese if preferred)
2 tbsp sunflower seeds — optional

Combine all ingredients for dressing together in a blender until smooth. Turn into saucepan and heat gently till bubbling; simmer for 1–2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Transfer to a cold bowl and allow to cool while preparing the other ingredients.
Prepare the vegetables and the salad before cooking the vegetables.
Steam the vegetables — altogether in a steamer or in a colander over a large pot — cook until just tender but still colourful and still with a little bite to them.
Put half the vegetables into your serving dish — add a layer of sauce, repeat with remaining vegetables and sauce. Top with salad and serve while still warm.
