This is one of my favorite warm weather staples — creamy crumbled tofu mixed with Vegenaise, plenty of dill, celery, and onion. Yum yum! Perfect with a few natural potato chips and a small green salad.Here's my recipe:
1 pound extra firm tofu, drained, pressed, and crumbled
2 stalks celery, minced
1/3 cup green olives, chopped
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup Vegenaise
1/4 cup pickle relish
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. dill weed
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Spread on sandwiches right away or chill in the fridge.
Makes about 8 sandwiches.
Hey Testers!!! I've posted a recipe for my Dijon Pecan Seitan over at the tester site. Check it out...
hmm : ) that looks nice.. you made me crave a tofu eggless salad sandwich ! hah.
ReplyDeletelooks delicious, i feel like it would also be delicious hybridized iwht a waldorf salad...meaning added walnuts, grapes, or apples, or all three! that tester recipe sounds mouthwatering.
ReplyDeleteI would have eaten egg sandwiches in my pre-vegan days, but this sandwich sounds totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The package is on the way and I had a little chat with the lady at the post office who told me that air-mail is actually not much faster...so I sticked with my plan to send it by "regular" mail. I hope it won't get lost!
Hmmmmm, sounds so good Bianca. I keep meaning to make some tofu egg salad. I was such a big egg salad fan before I stopped eating eggs, but they were this special once in awhile treat. Tofu egg salad is totally better though, and faster because you don't have to boil anything :)
ReplyDeleteI hated mayo and eggs before going vegan, but I think that was partly because of their ingredients (raw eggs? EW!). Now that I'm veg, vegan mayo is awesome! And I've loved all tofu egg replacements (tofu scrambles & omlets) so I'm sure I'd really dig this!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention, that tester recipe sounds divine!
Mmm, now I'm craving tofu eggless salad!
ReplyDeleteyay for warm(er) weather. i can't wait to try this one. :)
ReplyDeleteoooh, i see lots of tofu eggless salad in my future now, Bianca! thanks for the rock'n recipe - your sammie looks amazing and it all sounds like such a tasty combination! mmmmmmmmm!
ReplyDeletegonna check out the tester site now! wahoooooo!
Sounds absolutely delicious! It's so cool how you have your meals planned out for the week. I really should do the same. Can't wait to try this salad!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean.. sometimes only tofu salad will fit the craving and yours looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum, sounds great. I think plenty of dill makes anything good!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about tofu eggless salad! Every so often I just get an insane craving and I have to make it. Also, it requires pickles.
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I want to make this! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, I've got to make this for my mother. I used to love her egg salad sandwiches growing up!
ReplyDeleteThe hubs loves egg salad. I'll have to try this one on him.
ReplyDeleteNot looking at the tofu. Not looking at the tofu. Not looking at the tofu. Oh, how I miss it!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I could never get near a real egg salad sammie, even as a kid I would gag from the smell. Your sammie looks really yummy, though!
ReplyDeleteI went to Trader Joes to get me some eggless salad and they were out!!! I did a search and your blog came up. lucky me!!! I will try this, thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust made it with a couple of differences. Used Dijon mustard, spring onions,twice the olives and no relish.
ReplyDeleteI also saw a recipe that suggested that you could grill the tofu before you shredded it and it gives it a bit more texture...
All good.
