Steaming is a great way to cook vegetables and ensure that they retain most of their nutrients. We went with broccolini, asparagus, yellow squash, zucchini, and baby golden beets, but you can use any seasonal produce you please. Just make sure to steam each veg separately for the best texture; finish with flaky salt, toasted walnut oil, fresh lemon juice, and radish greens.
