Ingredients

• 14 oz Firm tofu (pressed)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp Tahini
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
• 0.25 tsp Turmeric powder
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Red onion (finely diced)
• 0.5 cup Celery (finely chopped)
• 3 tbsp Dill pickles (finely diced)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Chives (optional, finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Press the firm tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess water. Use a tofu press or place the tofu block between two plates and weigh it down with a heavy object.

Step 2

Crumble the pressed tofu into a large mixing bowl using your hands or a fork, breaking it into small, egg-like pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, tahini, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the crumbled tofu and gently mix until all the tofu pieces are evenly coated.

Step 5

Add the red onion, celery, dill pickles, and chives (if using) to the tofu mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Step 7

Serve immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad can be used as a sandwich filling, in wraps, or enjoyed on its own.
