This vegan egg salad recipe is so simple, actually simpler than its actual egg version. Not only is this #plantbased, it is very versatile. It can be topped on toasted bread, rolled in wraps, had as is as a salad with some crunchy veggies. We alternate one of the above variations every week.
I usually batch make the fried tofu and then add the mayo and condiments as and when needed. So that I can use the tofu is so many other dishes also! For instance, stir-fries!
Also, I have made an avocado-mint dip/spread that I usually make and store in airtight containers in the fridge to grab as a snack alongside some crunchy veggies like cucumber, carrots or celery sticks.
