Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, crumbled
- 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Drain the firm tofu and press it gently to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a mixing bowl using your hands or a fork until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
- Next, add the vegan mayonnaise to the crumbled tofu. This will provide creaminess to your egg salad. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the tofu is evenly coated.
- In the same bowl, add the Dijon mustard. This will add a tangy flavor to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the mustard into the tofu and mayonnaise.
- Now, add the chopped celery and onion to the bowl. These ingredients will provide a nice crunch and flavor. Gently fold them into the tofu mixture until everything is well combined.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your preference. Mix again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Once everything is combined, taste the salad and adjust any ingredients if necessary. If you like a stronger dill flavor, you can add some fresh dill at this stage.
- Transfer the eggless egg salad to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh dill on top for a pop of color and added flavor.
- This vegan eggless egg salad can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for a bit to enhance the flavors. Enjoy it on sandwiches, wraps, or with crackers!
Tips
- • Press your tofu thoroughly to remove excess moisture - this ensures a more authentic texture • Use firm tofu for the best consistency and crumbling effect • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of turmeric for a more egg-like color • Experiment with additional herbs like chives or parsley for variety • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days • For added protein, consider mixing in some nutritional yeast
