Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups uncooked quinoa
3 cups organic vegetable broth
1 (14 oz) package reduced-fat firm tofu, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 1/4 tsp salt, divided
1 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp grated lemon rind
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (10 oz) package frozen baby lima beans
4 cups chopped tomatoes (about 3 medium)
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Directions:

Combine quinoa and vegetable broth in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until broth is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Remove from heat.
Place tofu on several layers of paper towels; cover with additional paper towels. Let stand 5 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add tofu; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sauté tofu 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from heat; cool completely.
Combine remaining 2 tablespoons oil, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, basil, and next 6 ingredients (through garlic) in a large bowl; stir with a whisk until blended.
Stir in quinoa.
Cook lima beans according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
Cool completely.
Add the lima beans, tofu, chopped tomato, green onions, chopped carrot, and black beans to quinoa mixture; stir gently to combine.
Store, covered, in refrigerator until ready to serve.
