Mock Egg Salad Food

THE BEST EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Cover the eggs with at least 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, celery, onions, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Peel and roughly chop the eggs, add to the mayonnaise mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

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.

MOCK EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Open tofu package. Drain and dry tofu.
• Put tofu in large bowl and dice into cubes.
• Add mayo, mustard, relish and onion and gently stir, spread on bread and eat.
• Variations: Try making it half yogurt in the mayo for less calories. Add real boiled eggs and double your protein. Try sweet hot mustard for a little kick. For extra crunch, add diced bits of celery and apple. Have fun, try to experiment a little.
• Note: Servings are just a guess.

• Mash the tofu in a bowl with a wooden spoon.
