Eggless Salad

from Eggless Salad with Crackers & Veggies, the Week of January 22, 2012.
View the previous recipe for this meal.

Imagine everything you love about egg salad, but with tofu instead. This is actually one of my favorite ways to eat tofu. I usually whip up a batch of this, spread some on bread for sandwiches and the rest is used as dip for veggies or a spread for crackers. This is a flexible recipe, so feel free to add your favorite egg salad ingredients, such as sweet or dill relish.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces tofu, extra-firm
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or veganaise for vegan
  • 2 tablespoons greek yogurt, cottage cheese or veganaise
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon white wine vinegar, or pickle juice
  • 1 pinch turmeric, to give a yellow 'egg' color
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper, to taste
  • 1 stalk celery, trimmed and minced
  • 1 green onion, trimmed and minced
  • 2 green olives, or a small pickle, minced, optional

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

Wrap the tofu with a clean dish towel that won’t get threads on it. Place on a plate. Cover with another plate and press down with a heavy weight such as a can of tomatoes or a brick. The towel will absorb any excess liquid

Whisk together the mayonnaise or veganaise, the greek yogurt or cottage cheese, nutritional yeast if using, vinegar or pickle juice, turmeric, salt and pepper.

Unwrap the tofu and crumble into the dressing. Fold together with the minced celery, green onions and olives or pickles.
