Tofu “Egg” Salad

This is such a simple recipe- it takes less than 10 minutes to make. It is so good, it can also take less than 10 minutes to eat. I was never a huge fan of regular egg salad, but this tastes pretty great. Try it on a sandwich, on top of toast, or as a dip with crackers or tortilla chips. So good!
Ingredients:
- 1lb firm tofu- crushed
- 1 dill pickle spear (1/4 of a whole pickle)- minced with skin removed
- 2 green onion stalks- sliced thin (remove the white portion and the tough green end)
- 1-2 garlic cloves- minced
- 1/2 tsp spicy mustard
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Braggs
- Pinch of dill
- 1/2 tsp tumeric
- 2 heaping tablespoons Vegenaise (serving spoon size, not the measuring spoon)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Steps:
- Crush the tofu in a medium sized bowl- a potato masher works great for this.
- Add the green onion, pickle, and garlic. You can adjust the amount of garlic to suit your taste- it gives it a sharp taste. I personally like to remove the skin of the pickle with a paring knife to give the egg salad a smoother consistency, but most people probably won’t care either way.
- Stir things up well, then add the mustard, dill, tumeric, Braggs, and nutritional yeast. Stir again.
- Now add the Vegenaise. I use two spoons for this- one spoon to scoop the Vegenaise into the tofu mixture, and the other to stir things up. I add two heaping spoonfuls and then stir it well. You can add more to help create the consistency that you want- less will make it stiffer, more will make a more watery consistency.
- Add salt and pepper according to your taste, then crush it!
Enjoy!
