Lemon Butter Drizzle

This is one of those sauces that makes plain steamed veggies taste like a treat. It takes just one Challenge Butter Cube and a lemon—easy enough to pull together while the veggies cook. You can use a steamer basket or just sauté the vegetables in a skillet with a splash of water and cover to steam. I like broccolini, yellow squash, and snap peas, but use what you’ve got.
