This fancy salad is well worth the work. If black rice isn’t readily available, swap it out for your favorite rice. Instant brown rice will speed up the salad preparation significantly.
Ingredients
-
Dressing:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. water
- 2 Tbsp. mustard
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 Tbsp. capers, roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp. salt
- Pepper to taste
Salad:
- ½ lb. green beans, trimmed and chopped
- ¾ cup black rice
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- 14 oz. firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
Directions
- Whisk together dressing ingredients. Set aside.
- Cook the rice according to package directions.
- While rice cooks, steam the beans until tender (5-7 minutes). Drain and place in an ice bath to preserve color.

- Gently toss prepared salad ingredients with the dressing. Serve immediately.
