This Tofu Egg Salad sandwich is a delicious and healthy vegan version of traditional egg salad – enjoy it on a sandwich, as a dip, or add a scoop to your salad for extra protein!
This is a awesome ‘egg’ salad – it makes a delicious and hearty sandwich which is perfect to pack for lunches during the week! This makes about 4 sandwiches, so its great to make during Sunday Meal Prep and pack lunches during the week.
It has a fantastic crunchy texture from the celery and pickles, but is really creamy from the vegan mayo. The spices, mustard, and fresh dill really kick this sandwich up!
Tofu is the perfect filler because it is light and packed with protein which makes this sandwich a great choice for lunch. Add any sandwich fixings you prefer (lettuce, tomato, sliced onion, etc), but even plain this Vegan Egg Salad definitely holds it own between the bread.
The best part about this dish is that it is SO QUICK to make – the vegan egg salad can come together in about 10-15 minutes, depending on how much chopping you need to do.
My husband was absolutely blown away by this and SWORE it was made with eggs! A traditional take on a super non-traditional sandwich 🙂
