Ok, I know, if you’re not a vegetarian, you’re thinking ick or ewe, but if you are a vegetarian or
veg-curious, I have a new recipe for you.
I found the recipe on a box of tofu and I’ve modified it a bit and you can find a bunch of recipes online for different variations.

The most important thing to remember is that you need firm tofu, with firm tofu, it crumbles nicely and will mix well, and the consistency is good. if you use a different type (soft, silken) it won’t work as well. And drain it!!! Nothing worse than wet egg salad, real or not!
This isn’t a formal recipe with an ingredient and measuring list, just how I make it, take what you want from it.
For serious vegans, use eggless mayonnaise, I used regular, I’m ok with it. I start with 2 teaspoons, add more as needed for taste. It calls for 1/8 teaspoon of mustard powder, unless you really like mustard, DON’T use more than 1/8 teaspoon mustard powder! Next time, I might try some Dijon mustard (if I have any). Sweet relish added something nice, not too sweet, but enjoyable. I also added some celery, that gives it a nice crunch. You might like some red, yellow or orange peppers, adds a nice splash of color and taste.
The other day, I put some on a salad, it was yummy. Another time, it was with spinache, kale, cheese and orange peppers, Y U M!
So, if you are brave enough to try it, I would love to know how you made yours and what you thought!
