Mock Egg Salad
This is a tofu classic! Some people think it really is egg salad. The mustard and turmeric give it the right color, and the other ingredients provide the traditional flavor. Adapt this recipe to include your own favorite seasonings.
8 oz tofu, crumbled or 1 pkg (10.5 oz) silken tofu
1 Tbs prepared mustard
1 Tbs honey
2 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp turmeric (optional)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup minced celery
1/4 cup minced green pepper
2 Tbs minced pickles
Crumble the tofu into a medium mixing bowl.
Combine the mustard, honey, vinegar, turmeric, onion powder, celery seed and pepper in a small dish. Pour over the tofu and mash together well.
Add the celery, green pepper and pickles and mix well again. You may serve it immediately, but letting it chill for a few hours allows the flavors to blend better.
