Ingredients

 * 1 cup diced tofu
 * 4 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa (wild rice may be part of it)
 * 1/2 cup pine nuts or chopped pecans, or a combination of these
 * 3/4 cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and then drained
 * 1/2 cup chopped green onions
 * 1/3 cup olive oil
 * 1/4 cup rice vinegar
 * 2 tablespoons light soy sauce or tamari sauce
 * 1/4 teaspoon pepper
 * lettuce leaves
 * paprika
 * parsley or coriander

Directions

 * Use extra firm tofu. This recipe lends itself well to a small amount of ginger powder or grated fresh ginger.

You can use 2-3 teaspoons sesame oil and then add olive oil to make 1/3 cup.

You can also skip the oil and vinegar and use a soy "Mayonnaise."
