Vegetarian Chef's Salad

• 1 pound white mushrooms, trimmed and halved
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 pound yellow wax beans, trimmed
• 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 4 ounces smoked or baked tofu
• 1/3 cup fat-free plain yogurt
• 12 cups mixed greens (about 12 ounces)
• 2 vacuum-packed cooked beets, cut into sticks
• 3 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cut into sticks
• 2 tablespoons salted roasted sunflower seeds

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste on a baking sheet.
2. Roast until tender and golden, about 12 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, put the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water; bring to a boil.
4. Add the wax beans and remove from the heat; cover and let stand 10 minutes.
5. Drain, then rinse the eggs and beans under cold water.
6. Peel and quarter the eggs; set aside.
7. Toss the beans with 1 teaspoon vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
8. Cut three-quarters of the tofu into sticks.
9. Make the dressing: Combine one-third of the mushrooms, the remaining tofu, 3 tablespoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil, the yogurt, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a food processor and puree.
10. Toss with the greens; season with salt and pepper.
11. Divide among bowls.
12. Top with the remaining mushrooms and tofu, the eggs, beans, beets, cheese and sunflower seeds.
