Instructions

Egg Salad Crumble

  1. For this recipe you will need a non-stick frying pan, mixing spoon and a small blender.
  2. Firstly, take your block of tofu, crumble half and chop the other half into the frying pan. Add all the crumble ingredients except water and mix well.
  3. Put the fry-pan on a medium to high heat and heat the ingredients for 1-2 minutes until the tofu starts to stick to the pan.
  4. Add approximately 1/4 cup water to the pan to soften the tofu and to stop it from sticking. Cook for a minute more and remove from heat.
  5. Place the cooked crumble into your serving bowl and set aside.

Egg Salad Dressing

  1. Put all the egg salad ingredients except the scallions into your blender and blend till smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour approximately half the mixture over the crumble in your serving bowl and mix through.
  3. Add scallions and pepper to suit your taste and mix through the salad.
  4. Serve with your favorite sides!

Notes

  • The salad dressing makes twice as much as you need because you have to open a whole can of beans to make it, the perk of this is that the dressing is great for other salads as well and it keeps for a week in the fridge so you can just make the tofu part of the recipe again.
  • We like to fill wheat tortillas with this salad and toast in a sandwich press.
