Vegan Egg Salad
Egg salad was invented in the 1800s and although food and meals have evolved, many people gravitate towards egg salad to this day. Though egg salad has a reputation of smelling up a room with a strong egg smell, this egg salad version can be made without the strong odour or adjusted to your preference using black salt to create the “eggy” smell and taste!
With this recipe, the flavours come together more the longer it sits in the fridge. I like to make it the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight. You can enjoy this vegan egg salad on a sandwich, in a wrap or on top of greens for a hearty, but fresh and easy salad.
