Tahini Soy Slaw

I was looking for something with legumes that I could make ahead for lunch for the week, and this turned out to be even more delicious than I planned. I added sliced mushrooms just before serving. The Splenda measurement uses Splenda for baking. You could substitute an equal amount of sugar or equivalent other sweetener. Cooking time is actually refrigeration time.
