MMMMM------------------FORMATTED BY S.GRABOWSKI-----------------------
      1 c  Cooked garbanzo beans
      1 c  Cooked kidney beans
      1 c  Cooked lima beans
      1 c  Fresh mung bean sprouts
      1 c  Soy sauce
      1 bn Ya (Chinese long) beans
      1    Artichoke heart
      1    Julienned red bell pepper
      1    Can sliced water chestnuts

MMMMM--------------------------DRESSING-------------------------------
           Tofu
           Soy sauce
           Grated ginger
           Minced garlic
           Sesame oil
 
  DRESSING Mix dressing ingredients up together. Break tofu up into
  small bite sized pieces. (sorry I didn't get the amounts for the
  dressing, but he was going so fast, I missed it if he gave actual
  amounts...) Allow to sit while preparing the rest of the salad.
  
  SALAD Mix all salad ingredients except for the YA beans together in a
  bowl. Save three Ya beans for each plate. Braid them (as in hair) and
  lay the braided Ya bean around the side of each salad plate. If there
  is any leftover Ya beans, chop them and add to salad. Once salad has
  been thoroughly tossed, place mound on each plate. Pour dressing over
  top and serve immediately.
