Chopped Vegetable, Tofu And Romaine Salad
Who says Los Angeles has the best chopped salad? Not me. I suggest doubling this recipe, adding the oil and vinegar only to the part you are going to eat right away. You can eat this as a salad, or roll it into a tortilla wrap for a quick, satisfying vegetarian meal on the go. Makes 4 Servings


Ingredients:

1/2 cup chopped string beans
1/2 cup diced Seared Asian Tofu
1/4 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 cup peeled and diced cucumber
2 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
1/4 cup thinly sliced Belgian endive leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup diced avocado
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup diced tomato


Instructions:
1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the string beans and cook for 1 minute to blanch. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, including the string beans, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss well and serve on chilled plates.
