This easy “egg” salad is perfect for a work week lunch! I make a huge batch on Sundays, take it into work on Monday, and I don’t have dishes to bring home until Friday. The star ingredient is one of the most versatile foods (in my humble opinion): tofu.
Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever is used to season it, and, for this dish, you have to purchase black salt. Okay, you don’t have to, but I highly recommend it because it’s what gives the dish an egg-y flavor!
This is delicious and high in protein too! If you liked egg salad prior to following a plant-based diet, you’ll love this recipe!
Where Can I Purchase Black Salt?
You can purchase black salt on Amazon here! This is the only brand I’ve tried and I can confirm that it is delicious and fresh!
What Bagels Do You Recommend?
I have been loving Western Bagels Perfect 10 lately! One bagel has only 140 calories and 19 grams of protein! You can purchase them here!
