Vegan “Egg” Salad

This is a simple, but delicious, recipe that every vegan should know how to make. I had an “egg” salad sandwich for lunch today, and it was so good! This salad only has five ingredients, plus some chopped veggies if you want to add them:

Both Magical Broth Powder and Himalayan Black Salt (kala namak) are essential for flavor in this recipe. The kala namak contains a sulfur compound that adds eggy flavor, and it is a pinkish color despite its name. I couldn’t find it in any local stores, and had to order from Amazon. It makes a huge difference, so it is definitely worth ordering some:

Magical Broth Powder provides a lot of flavor and saves you the time of adding a bunch of individual spices:

To make this “egg” salad, start by pressing your tofu:

Add the vegan mayo, Magical Broth Powder, kala namak, and pepper to a medium-sized bowl, and mix together:

Crumble your tofu and add it to the bowl. I already had mine crumbled for a photo, but you can just crumble it right into the mayo bowl:

Mix together:

Add finely chopped veggies and/or pickles if you want to, and mix again:

Make delicious sandwiches!

  1. Thanks Deborah. I was only thinking will I ever enjoy a picnic again As I always made egg salad sandwiches. My favourite sandwich so I will try this must get some of that spice you said is it expensive? And you got it from amazon What else do you put it in ? Thanks so much. 🌼🌸🌻

      1. The black salt is worth every penny it costs. I use it in my tofu scrambles and in eggless quiches. I am fortunate and live in a big city with many international shops because we have so many middle eastern folks so I can get humongous bags very inexpensively.
