Vegetables are, without a doubt, the cornerstone of a healthy diet. They contain high amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, while and at the same time are low in kilojoules. This makes them great for helping us lose weight, maintain a healthy weight long term and reduce our risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.

Sometimes steamed vegetables can be a little boring. Rather than saturating them in butter why not try this delicious, flavoursome dressing that will have you munching down your veggies as often as you can.
