Ingredients:

• 3/4 lb green beans, trimmed and chopped in 1" pieces (2 cups)
• 3 scallions, minced
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• Salad greens
• 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• Toasted sesame seeds or gomasio (toast sesame seeds by stirring in a dry heavy pan on medium heat for a few minutes - they brown quickly and burn easily, so don't wander off!)
• 8 oz baked lemon-pepper tofu, cut into 1/4 inch strips
• Tahini Dressing:
• 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 diced green pepper
• 1 Tbsp mirin (rice vinegar) (OR apple cider vinegar)
• 2 Tbsp tamari soy sauce
• Juice of 1 lemon (2 - 3 Tbsp)
• 1 tsp sugar

Directions:

1. Steam the green beans until just tender, about 8 minutes. Run under cold water to preserve color and stop the cooking process. Set aside
2. In a bowl, combine the tahini, garlic, sesame oil, mirin, tamari, lemon juice and sugar. Whisk to blend
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked green beans, the scallions, and parsley with enough of the tahini sauce to coat the vegetables. Toss gently to coat the beans
4. On a round platter lined with salad greens, arrange the green beans and tofu strips in a circular pattern
5. Mound the tomatoes in the center of the circle
6. Drizzle the remaining sauce over all and sprinkle with sesame seeds or gomasio
