Soba Noodle Salad

This is a good for you salad.
There are many soba noodle
salad recipes on the web.
Here's a simple one that I like.

Ingredients:
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
6 ounces soba noodles
6 ounces tofu, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 TB fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 scallions, minced

Directions:
In a large pot of boiling salted water,
cook 8 ounces trimmed green beans,
cut into 2-inch pieces, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a colander.
In same pot, cook 6 ounces soba noodles according to
package instructions; drain well (do not rinse).
Meanwhile, cut 6 ounces firm silken tofu
into 1/2 inch cubes; drain on paper towels.
Place in a bowl. In another bowl,
whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice,
2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil.
Pour half the dressing over tofu; toss gently to coat.
In a large bowl, toss remaining dressing with noodles,
green beans, and 2 minced scallions.
Sprinkle tofu on top. Let cool.
