    ▻Tofu Egg Salad:
    Makes 6 servings
    Macros per serving: 14g Protein / 9g Carb / 5g Fat
    Calories: 137
    INGREDIENTS
    - 500g extra firm tofu, my favorite is Hodo
    - 2 stalks of celery, chopped
    - 2 cloves of garlic, minced
    - 1 lemon, juiced
    - 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
    - 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    - 1 teaspoon agave to balance all the flavors
    - 25g Dijon mustard
    - 20g chopped green onion
    - 5g Kala Namak Black Salt: This ingredient is incredibly important. The salt will give the tofu its traditional "eggy" flavor.
    - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    STEPS
    1. Process all the ingredients until you achieve the desired consistency. You can process for less if you prefer a chunky salad or process more to get a smooth spread.
    2. Serve on some toasted bread with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and enjoy!

    We just use regular tofu for sauces and desserts or dressings, no need for silken tofu if someone prefers regular one :) Great recipes!

    Oh! Great to have a new tofu vid! The protein queso I’m gonna try ASAP when I get back home 🤩
    And let me tell you I’m glad tofu is vegan because I loved it even before I turned vegan 😂 if I had to give it up it would’ve all been over. It’s wild how many different ways you can prep it!

    These look great! Such a shame the phytoestrogen in tofu is so maligned while actual estrogen in dairy is ignored. Thanks for sharing
