• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it for 5-10 minutes to remove excess moisture. Use a tofu press or wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top.

Step 2

Crumble the pressed tofu into a medium-sized mixing bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped dill pickle, celery, and red onion to add texture and flavor.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

Step 7

If using, stir in the chopped fresh parsley for an extra pop of freshness.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
