Nana's Eggless Egg Salad
Prep
Total
Yield 8 heavy 1/2 cup servings
The addition of Turmeric gives this "egg" salad it's classic yellow color and just a touch of extra flavor. Follow Your Heart Vegenaise is creamy, delicious, everything you would look for in a mayo type salad dressing and blends so well with the tofu that the texture is perfect!
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra firm tofu
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 4 sliced green onions
- 1/2 cup Vegenaise (or similar)
- optional 1 Tbsp brown rice syrup
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp Dak's Everything But Tha Salt (or 1 tsp garlic powder / 1 tsp sea salt / 1/2 tsp black pepper)
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- optional 1 Tbsp vinegar
- approximately 1 Tbsp finely chopped flat leaf parsley
Instructions
- Drain tofu and place in large bowl. Using your hands (clean hands!) "crumble" tofu gently until you have even crumbles and no big lumps
- Combine Vegenaise, spices and mustard in a separate bowl to form dressing and set aside
- Combine remaining ingredients and lightly toss until mixed
- Fold in dressing and gently stir until everything is coated
- Ready to eat immediately, but the flavors "blend" if stored covered in the fridge overnight before served. Must be consumed within 3-5 days of opening tofu package
Notes
Tofu is a great meat replacement and can be fun! Just like you wouldn't crack open an egg and eat it unprepared, find a creative recipe to bring flavor and amazing textures to your tofu. Best used within 3-5 days of opening the package.
