On a hot night - or just a busy one when there's no time to cook, this
salad can be dinner in moments. I used to make a salad like this one
with garbanzo beans, which you could also use, but your carb debt
would go way up. You'll find these black soybeans are a tasty
alternative.
SERVES 6
6 1/2-ounce can tuna packed in olive oil, drained
15-ounce can Eden black soybeans, rinsed under running water
1 cup broccoli florets, steamed 5 minutes or microwaved just until
tender
2 scallions, chopped, including the firm part of the green
Half a red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced
Handful of fresh basil, chopped
Handful of fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove
Salt and pepper
Mix the tuna, soybeans, broccoli, scallions, red pepper, basil, and
parsley together in a serving bowl.
In a small bowl, mix the oil and vinegar. Spear the garlic clove on a
fork and use the fork to whisk the oil and vinegar together until
they begin to emulsify. Add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk again
with the garlic clove and pour over the salad, tossing well to
combine.

While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
