• 2 Tablespoons Black Sesame Seeds (for the topping)
• For the Dressing:
  • 1/3 cup Silken tofu
  • 3 Tablespoons Garden Dill Mustard Seed Balsamic

Directions:

1. In a large bowl; mix the beans, onions, celery and red pepper together.
2. In a blender or a separate small bowl, add the tofu and the Balsamic. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the dressing mixture to the bean mixture and mix until well incorporated.
4. Sprinkle the Black Sesame Seeds over the salad.

Notes:

This is a super versatile and delicious quick recipe. You can mix it with rice for a delicious bean and rice salad, serve it over baked potatoes, wrap it up in collard greens, or eat it as is. You can also add more vegetables: shredded carrots, peas, dill pickles, olives, whatever you like.
