Ingredients

  • 16 oz Package of Firm Tofu
  • 1 tsp Kala Namak (Black Salt)
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Drain and press the tofu for about 30 minutes.
  • Crumble the pressed tofu with your hands into a mixing bowl until it looks like curds.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in another bowl and mix them together.
  • Add the mayo mixture to the crumbled tofu and mix until all the mayo is incorporated.
  • Serve as desired and enjoy! Please note that while you can serve it immediately, the "egg" salad flavor gets even better if you cover and chill it for a few hours before serving.

Notes

  • Please note that kala namak (Himalayan black salt) is NOT the same thing as Himalayan pink salt and they are not interchangeable!
  • You can reduce the amount of kala namak to 1/2 to 3/4 tsp if you are used to less salt in your food.
  • You can increase the turmeric to 1/4 tsp if you want a deeper yellow color in your "egg" salad.
