- 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
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.
- 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.
