This tofu “egg” salad is super easy and takes only a few minutes to prepare. This is the perfect tofu egg salad sandwich recipe using easy ingredients you can find anywhere. Create the taste, texture and color of egg salad without eggs by using tofu, vegan mayonnaise, turmeric and black salt.
8 slices of your favourite sandwich bread (toasting optional)
¾ cup alfalfa sprouts or shredded lettuce
1 tomato, sliced
¼ cucumber, sliced
Instructions
Wrap tofu in a tea towel or paper towels (or use tofu press) and squeeze gently to remove water. Place in a colander over a bowl or in the sink and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine vegan mayo, mustard, relish, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, turmeric, paprika, black salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix until combined and smooth.
Use your hands and crumble the tofu into small pieces into the large mixing bowl with mayo mixture.
Combine well and taste. Add more mayo, black salt and cracked pepper as needed.
Add celery, onions, parsley and dill or chives and mix to combine.
Use right away or chill for a minimum of 30 mins to allow spices and seasonings to marinate the tofu.
Taste mixture after 30 mins and adjust seasonings as needed.
Spoon tofu mixture onto four slices of bread and top with alfalfa sprouts or greens, and tomatoes (or whatever veggies you want) and top with a second slice of toasted bread on each. Slice in half and serve, or wrap in eco-friendly sandwich wrap for a delicious school or work lunch.
