Eggless Egg Salad Food

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.

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!

Steps:

• Place the tofu in a mixing bowl and mash with a wooden spoon. Mix in the remaining ingredients and combine well. Chill slightly, then serve on a bed of mixed greens or as a sandwich.

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!
