This tofu eggless salad has the look and feel of egg salad, though it’s not intended to fool anyone!

Ingredients

  • 14-ounce tub firm tofu (see note)
  • 1 large stalk celery, finely diced
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced, or several chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill, or a pinch of dried dill
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon good-quality curry powder, or more, to taste
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, optional (but highly recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish, optional
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (see note)

Directions

  1. 1

    Slice the tofu into 6 slabs crosswise and blot well on paper towels or clean tea towels. Or, if you have a tofu press, use it a little ahead of time. Place the tofu in a mixing bowl and mash well with a large fork or potato masher — or simply crumble with clean hands. 

  2. 2

    Add the celery, scallion, and dill.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, curry powder, and optional nutritional yeast and mix well. 

  4. 4

    Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the tofu mixture, stir well to combine, and season with salt and pepper. Serve at once as suggested in the headnote, or cover and refrigerate until needed.
