Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams potatoes
- 200 grams carrots
- 150 grams pickles
- 150 grams frozen peas
- 200 grams extra-firm tofu
- 100 grams vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small, uniform cubes.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
In the same pot of water, boil the diced carrots for 8-10 minutes until tender. Add the frozen peas during the last 3 minutes of boiling. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Dice the pickles into small cubes and set aside.
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Dice it into small cubes resembling the size of boiled potatoes.
Prepare the dressing by combining vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, carrots, peas, pickles, and diced tofu.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently fold until all the ingredients are well coated.
Chop the fresh dill and add it to the salad. Lightly toss to incorporate the dill evenly.
Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a side dish or a light main course.
