BLACK RICE AND SOY SALAD W/ASIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine the rice, diced bell pepper, walnut pieces and edamame. 2. Slice the tofu about 1/2 inch thick, and blot with paper towels. Cut into 1/2-inch dice, and toss with the soy sauce. Add to the rice along with the chives and cilantro. 3. Just before serving, toss with the vinaigrette. Yield: Serves six. Advance preparation: The rice will keep in the refrigerator for three or four days, and it freezes well. The salad can be assembled several hours before serving, but don't toss the tofu with the soy sauce until you're ready to serve it. If you want the rice to be extra flavorful, toss it with the dressing and marinate for a few hours. You can even freeze it in the dressing.
