    tofu-ldquoeggrdquo-salad

    Photo by: Joseph DeLeo

    Surprisingly similar to the real thing! Serve this as you would regular egg salad—in a sandwich (on whole-grain bread or in a whole-wheat pita), or on a bed of greens, accompanied by olives, tomatoes, and fresh, raw vegetables.

    Yield: 2 servings

    INGREDIENTS
    • 6 ounces very firm tofu or nigari tofu
    • 1 scallion, finely minced (include the green part)
    • 3 tablespoons grated carrot
    • ¼ cup finely minced celery
    • ¼ cup finely minced red bell pepper
    • 2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds
    • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
    • Freshly ground black pepper

    Directions

    1. Cut the tofu into tiny dice and transfer to a medium-size bowl.

    2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix gently.

    3. Cover tightly and chill until cold.

    Notes

    This keeps for up to 5 days in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
