12 oz. pasta shells or rotini
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed & and cut into 1" lengths
12-oz. jar marinated artichokes, drained and chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

  2. Meanwhile, steam the green beans until tender, about 5 minutes. Rinse under cold water and drain well.
  3. Drain the pasta, rinse under cold water and drain well. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the green bean, tomatoes, artichokes, olives and tofu; toss to mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Make the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine all the dressing ingredients and process until blended and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to mix. Serve at room temperature.
