Vegan "Egg" Salad

Tofu really is the solution to all vegan substitutes. That's why here, we're using silken tofu to create the perfect egg-free salad. Enjoy as is, or in a whole wheat wrap.

We started off with firm silken tofu, because we wanted that smooth "eggy" texture without ending up with a mushy salad. Then, we went in with some mustard, mayo, nutritional yeast (to enhance the flavor and of course, nutrition!), and curry powder. Finishing touches were salt and pepper, and our veggies/greens of choice. We went with green onions, shredded carrots, cilantro, and parsley.

Finally, we mixed it all together carefully, and applied our yummy mixture to our wraps. We highly recommend adding extra vegetables, like tomatoes, red cabbage, and onions! Get creative with it, and enjoy!
