VEGETARIAN TOFU AND EGG SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized bowl, gently mash the tofu with a fork until it has the consistency you prefer. You might like to have a few little chunks of tofu or prefer a more crumbly egg salad or a more chunky texture. Err on the side of a bit smaller than a bit larger, as it will carry the rest of the flavors better.
• Add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, lemon juice, and diced celery, stirring to combine well.
• Then sprinkle with the garlic powder and onion powder and stir in the mustard.
• Taste and adjust seasonings to taste. You might want to add a dash of salt if you're used to saltier foods.
• Finally, sprinkle with a dash of paprika for a bit of color and garnish, if you'd like. Serve your tofu egg salad on lightly toasted bread with lettuce and a couple of tomato slices for a vegan "egg" salad sandwich or spread on crackers for a casual vegetarian hors d'oeuvres. This recipe is vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free (but only if you eat it as a salad and not as a sandwich, of course, or you can use gluten-free bread).
