Categories     Tofu & Tempeh

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

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)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Add the celery, scallion, and dill.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, curry powder, and optional nutritional yeast and mix well.
  • 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.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 package medium-firm tofu (sizes vary; see notes)
1 stalk green onion, finely-sliced
1-2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1-2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/3 cup vegan mayo (see notes)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/8 teaspoon turmeric (optional, for color)
1/2 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Drain tofu, wrap in a clean tea towel and press for 30 minutes under a plate with a few cans. (This step is important; if you don't press out excess liquid, your salad will become watery as it sits.)
  • Finely chop half of the tofu. Mash the other half. The two textures will mimic the different textures of egg whites and egg yolks. (Optional, but I also find mashing some of it makes the mixture a bit more cohesive so pieces of tofu are less likely to fall out of your sandwich.)
  • Stir tofu together with remaining ingredients. You can serve it immediately, but it's best if you let it marinate for a few hours or even overnight in the fridge.
