Edamame & Brown Rice Salad with Carrot-Ginger Dressing

Packed with vegetable protein and lots of fiber, this colorful meal gets lots of far-flung flavor from a ginger dressing accented with sesame and honey. If you are pinched for time, purchase the veggies already prepped, and the rice and edamame pre-cooked. If you can't find smoked tofu, make your own on an outdoor grill and wrap it tightly in plastic when cool and store it up to 1 week in the refrigerator to have on hand for recipes. To smoke tofu, place 1/2 cup soaked applewood or oak chips, unwrapped, on the cool side of an indirect fire. Smoke a block of firm tofu that has been halved horizontally into 2 thin squares, over low heat (225° to 250°F) for 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until lightly brown all over. Remove from the smoked tofu from the grill and prep as required for your recipe.
