Best 6 Almost Eggless Egg Salad Recipes

VEGAN EGG SALAD (WITH TOFU)

Steps:

• Drain tofu, wrap in a clean tea towel and press for 30 minutes under a plate with a few cans. (This step is important; if you don't press out excess liquid, your salad will become watery as it sits.)
• Finely chop half of the tofu. Mash the other half. The two textures will mimic the different textures of egg whites and egg yolks. (Optional, but I also find mashing some of it makes the mixture a bit more cohesive so pieces of tofu are less likely to fall out of your sandwich.)
• Stir tofu together with remaining ingredients. You can serve it immediately, but it's best if you let it marinate for a few hours or even overnight in the fridge.

THE BEST VEGAN "EGG" SALAD

Steps:

• Remove the Tofu from its package and press for 10-15 minutes. Then, the Tofu to a clean, dry towel and wrap it up while you prepare the "dressing."
• To make the Mayo "dressing", add all of the remaining ingredients, except for the Chives, to a high-speed blender and process until thick and creamy.
• Uncover the Tofu and use a knife to roughly chop it; I cut mine into thin strips, then on random diagonals to make a variety of chunks. Gently press another clean towel on top of the chopped Tofu to remove any excess moisture, then transfer to a bowl. Add in the Chives and dressing, and fold until well incorporated.
• Add more Black Salt and Pepper to taste, then serve as desired. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 7 days; this recipe will not freeze well.

YOLKLESS EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir egg substitute in hot oil until set, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer scrambled egg substitute to a plate and refrigerate until chilled.
• Stir chilled egg substitute, chopped egg whites, mashed potato, mayonnaise, green onions, celery, mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a bowl until combined.

VEGAN EGGLESS EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Drain liquid out of tofu and crumble into pieces with either a fork or your hands. Try to keep some shapely pieces, this is not supposed to be the texture of ricotta cheese.
• In a separate bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, Vegenaise agave and turmeric. Pour and gently fold into crumbled tofu.
• Add parsley, carrots, onion, and celery/celery seed. Mix throughout.
• Continue to season to your preferred taste with paprika, black pepper and sea salt, and cayenne.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes to allow flavors to come together with the tofu. Overnight is the best thing you can do.
• The best way to eat this (in my opinion) is stuffed inside a whole wheat pita pocket with some arugula :) try it anyway you'd like! Enjoy!

EGGLESS EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Slice one-third of the tofu and mash in a bowl.
• Add the other ingredients in whatever order you wish.
• I like to slice and cube the remaining tofu so it resembles the egg salad I grew up with: kind of chunky with the yolks fully incorporated.
• Enjoy on rye bread or on crispy crackers.
• Bon appetite!

MAGICAL EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Chop eggs and transfer to a large bowl.
• Stir mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, steak sauce, paprika, and dill into eggs until well mixed; season with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, if desired.
• Sprinkle with cayenne pepper before serving.
