Ingredients

  • 1 package 14 oz of extra firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup of vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon of mustard
  • 1/4 cup of finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon of kala namak black salt
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices of whole grain bread
  • Lettuce and tomatoes for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Drain the tofu and press it to remove any excess water. You can do this by wrapping the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare your vegetables. Finely chop the celery and red onion.
  • In a large bowl, crumble the pressed tofu with your hands until it resembles the consistency of scrambled eggs.
  • Add the chopped celery and red onion to the bowl.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise, mustard, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, and kala namak. This will be your 'egg' salad dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to combine everything. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Toast your whole grain bread slices.
  • Assemble your sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of the tofu 'egg' salad on one slice of toasted bread. Top with lettuce and tomatoes if desired. Cover with the second slice of bread.
  • Repeat steps 8 for the remaining sandwiches.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan 'egg' salad sandwich!
