Gluten-free Tofu Rice Salad

Ingredients

 * 1 cup diced tofu
 * 4 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa (wild rice may be part of it)
 * ½ cup pine nuts or chopped pecans, or a combination of these
 * ¾ cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and then drained
 * ½ cup chopped green onions
 * ⅓ cup olive oil
 * ¼ cup rice vinegar
 * 2 tablespoons light soy sauce or tamari sauce
 * ¼ teaspoon pepper
 * lettuce leaves
 * paprika
 * parsley or coriander

Directions

 * 1) Use extra firm tofu.
 * 2) This recipe lends itself well to a small amount of ginger powder or grated fresh ginger.
 * 3) You can use 2-3 teaspoons sesame oil and then add olive oil to make ⅓ cup.
 * 4) You can also skip the oil and vinegar and use a soy "mayonnaise".
