Vegan Egg Salad
Description
This Vegan Egg Salad captures the creamy texture and savory flavor of traditional egg salad without cracking a single shell. Extra-firm tofu creates the hearty base, while creamy mayo, Dijon mustard, celery, and pickles add just the right balance of richness, tang, and crunch. Turmeric lends a hint of color, and black salt brings that distinctive egg-like flavor that ties everything together.
Pile it generously between slices of your favorite bread with crisp lettuce and a ripe tomato; toast it for a little extra crunch, or spoon it over fresh greens with cucumber and tomato for a lighter option. Simple, versatile, and easy to prepare, it’s a delicious addition to lunches, picnics, and make-ahead meals.
