Introduction

Got this from pg 256 of Vegan Living (complete idiot's guide to) book. But, like any good salad you can make this one your own by tweeking the recipe. All appropriate credit to them but I wanted to add it here for anyone else eating vegan. I hope that's ok. Great for picnics or other occassions where you might normally have egg salad. My first shared recipe. Enjoy. Got this from pg 256 of Vegan Living (complete idiot's guide to) book. But, like any good salad you can make this one your own by tweeking the recipe.

    Excellent! Everyone in the family loves it. Try diced red bell peppers, and you can cut the mayo in half. - 4/8/12

    I have made this a lot. Reminds me of the Trader Joe's Eggless salad. I crumble the tofu and add the tumeric directly to it and it gives it the yellow color of eggs. Also I mix the mayo with all the seasonings and then mix it in the tofu. Seems to even out the flavor better. Delish - 7/5/11

    I just made this and I can't believe how much easier it is to use tofu than to boil a bunch of eggs and peel them. Plus, it's cheaper! I used slightly more tofu, added some mustard and nutritional yeast, and it was still really good. You can't go wrong with this one. - 2/25/10

    I added cayenne powder and bell pepper. It is a wonderful lunch option and helps me up my protein, which is always a struggle for me. - 2/25/13

    This is yummy thrown into potato salad too! I use Indian black salad to give it a more eggy flavor. - 6/8/12
