Steamed CSA Veggies

This week I am making Thermomix steamed veggies dressed in a garlic, basil and lemon vinaigrette.  I enjoy them warm or even room-temperature.  A great side to go with some form of protein on the grill.  Or even in a composed salad on a hot day, leaving out the hard-boiled egg from the past and enjoying some tuna or salmon instead.  Tía Pame brought us some ventresca and olive oil from Spain, perfect! For our Fourth of July barbecue, I will combine steamed Yukon Gold Potatoes with chopped scallions, celery and herbs in a mayo-less dressing.  For some mayo-less potato salad ideas: http://everydayallergic.blogspot.com/2011/05/no-mayo-in-these-potato-salads.html
