Eggless Egg Salad
♥♥♥
Here’s a recipe I came up with after trying the eggless egg salad from Trader Joe’s. Theirs is pretty good, but doesn’t compare with good ol’ homemade.

Eggless Egg Salad Ingredients
- Organic Firm Tofu – one package
- Celery – half stalk plus leaves
- Shallot – one small clove
- Dill (fresh) – 1/2 t. or (dried) – 1/4 t.
- Turmeric – 1/2 t.
- Dijon Mustard – 1 t.
- Dill Pickle Relish – 2 t.
- Onion Powder – 1/4 t.
- Garlic Powder – 1/4 t.
- Cholesterol Free Canola Mayonnaise – 1/4 c.
- Sea Salt – to taste, use sparingly
- Smoked Paprika – to garnish
Put one-quarter of the block of tofu in a food processor with all the ingredients listed above except salt and paprika. Blend until combined. Add the remaining three-quarter block of tofu and pulse until mixed but not smooth, keeping a coarse texture. Taste. Adjust ingredients and salt to your liking. Add more turmeric if it needs more authentic egg salad color.
Serve on toasted whole wheat & flax bread.

You know – I'm going to try this. Today. I am also trying to lower my cholesterol without drugs – and I just do without. Not always happily. This truly looks scrumptious and I do love tofu. So versatile.
I had to wonder when I saw the title, and of course, tofu is the answer! This looks delicious, and as a life long egg salad fan, I would welcome a serving of this!
I am ashamed to admit that I have bought tofu once and then could not get my mind around eating it…. this egg salad however looks so good and I have to check my cholesterol as well!!!
I would have never thought of using tofu in a salad like this. Great job on your lifestyle change – and keep these kind of yummy treats coming!
I hope the trend shown by the test continues. To a healthy heart!
