More than just a substitute for egg salad! The only egg is in the mayonnaise; use soy mayonnaise for a vegan variation. Serve on wheat toast with crisp lettuce and fresh tomato slices.

Since adopting a vegan diet two years ago, I found the food I missed most was eggs! (I thought it would be pastrami, but who knew?) This recipe combines the flavors of my favorite eggless egg salads tasted along the way.

Yield 4 sandwiches, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces extra firm tofu, drained and patted dry of all excess moisture
2 tablespoons low-fat vegan mayonnaise

2 teaspoons dill pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon dried dill
2 scallions, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
salt
pepper

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tofu: For the best texture, use extra-firm or firm tofu. Extra-firm tofu will give you a more egg-like consistency, while firm tofu will be a bit softer.
  • Press the tofu: Pressing the tofu removes excess moisture, which helps to create a more firm and flavorful salad.
  • Use a food processor or blender: This will help you to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Season to taste: Add your favorite seasonings to taste. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, and celery seed.
  • Chill before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Eggless egg salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover tofu, and it's also a healthy and affordable option for vegans and vegetarians. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious eggless egg salad that the whole family will enjoy.
