What’s In This Vegan Egg Salad Sandwich Recipe?
- Celery, Onion, Sprouts, Bell Pepper – I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every month and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery. You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
If you think organic produce is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a look! - Shelf Stable Tofu – I have been LOVING these shelf-stable tofu packs from Amazon. I literally have 3 cases of them in my pantry as we speak. They are an inexpensive and healthy way to get some plant protein in. The texture of this extra firm tofu is perfect for this recipe, no pressing required!
- Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! Aside from all the wonderful health benefits of turmeric (hello anti-inflammation!), the flavor is fantastic. I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
- Yellow Mustard – while I normally like cooking with whole grain or Dijon mustard, sometimes a good classic yellow mustard is exactly what you need!
- Onion Powder: adds a delicious and savory flavor to this dish as well, and the onion powder pairs nicely with the onion.
- Vegan Mayonnaise: I like to use this dairy free & gluten free mayo to keep this recipe plant-based, but you can use whatever mayo that you would normally use in recipes. If you don’t normally like mayo, try my dairy free recipe... it’s creamy but still plant based.
- Low Carb Seeded Bread: OK, this bread is the closest thing to magic I’ve tasted in a while – high in fiber and low in carbohydrates, this seeded bread is the perfect addition to a healthy and plant based breakfast!

How Do I Make This Low Carb Vegan Egg Salad Recipe?
-
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the tofu. Add the celery, bell pepper, pickles, mayo, mustard, onion powder, dill, and ground pepper to the bowl. Mix really well to combine, mashing the mixture with a fork.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed- if you want salt, now is the time to add (I found it doesn’t need salt and was just as good on its own!)
-
Serve on sandwich bread, with crackers, as a crudité dip, or add a scoop to the top of a salad.
