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".
