Tofu "Egg" Salad - Tasty Summer Salad


tofu vegan egg salad

If you are looking for ways to use tofu, you might enjoy this tofu salad spread that looks similar to egg salad. It can be eaten on a plate with other vegetables, with crackers, or on a sandwich. It's quite tasty and versatile. My favorite way to eat it with a big slab of tomato on some gluten free bread.

After assembling it, I like to refrigerate it and it eat the next day. Why? The flavors seem to mingle better and it is tastier.

I chop up some vegetables such as celery, red onion or scallions, and parsley.

Turmeric gives the salad its yellow color. It is totally white before adding the turmeric.

  3. I love it! But what do you think of curried faux egg salad? That's my favorite egg salad treatment.

  4. I add chopped carrot and eat tofu salad many times throughout the year. I like it on a bed of greens with gluten free crackers on the side. Have a beautiful day Judee and keep up the good work.

  9. I think our Whole Foods used to sell tofu egg salad -- probably still does. It may have been more like real egg salad, for example, using vegan mayonnaise and maybe pickles -- which would add a lot of flavor to the rather bland tofu. I haven't eaten it in a long time as I use more actual hens' eggs now in place of meat.

  12. This tofu salad sounds tasty! I like your suggestion about eating it with "a big slab of tomato." And I know what you mean about some recipes tasting better the next day. I always feel that way about pies. Beautiful pics as always! :)
