Vegan “egg salad”

IMG_6752

Alternate titles for this dish include:

  • Eggless salad
  • Vegan slaw salad
  • Orange you glad it’s not egg salad

Ok, so clearly no eggs were used in this recipe, but I swear you’d never know if you tasted it.  Not only does this recipe take minimal time and effort, but it is very versatile, it can be eaten in a sandwich, on a bed of lettuce, or plain.

Ingredients

– 1/2 cup silken tofu

– 1/2 cup shredded carrots (if you have a juicer, use carrot pulp)

– 1/2 cup cabbage (or coleslaw mix)

– 1 tbsp honey mustard

– 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise (I’m a Nasoya fan myself)

– 1/2 tsp paprika

salt & pepper to taste

Once everything has been combined in a bowl (or blender if you are lazy aren’t in the mood for an arm workout), just mix until it’s the consistency you want.

The orange hue is the best part (gives your skin that extra glow without UV ray exposure or self tanner…and who doesn’t like a free tan?). 

I’m not sure how, but this really reminds me of egg salad.  Also fabulous, is that I don’t have to worry about consuming a year’s worth of cholesterol in each bite!  Vegan goodness for your tummy and healthy for your arteries (you can get the nurse out of the ICU, but you can never get the ICU out of the nurse…).

On a bed of spinach or sandwich thins.  It’s awesome.  Enjoy!

    I will have to try that!

    My “egg salad” recipe is different. I think it’s quite good:
    1 can chickpeas drained and smashed
    1/4c vegan mayo
    2 tbsp mustard
    2 tbsp relish
    1 chopped celery stalk (or green onion)
    Pepper to taste

    Really good on toasted bread or in a pita 🙂
