Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 medium dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 medium celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
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.
Crumble the pressed tofu into a medium-sized mixing bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl and stir until well combined.
Fold in the chopped dill pickle, celery, and red onion to add texture and flavor.
Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
If using, stir in the chopped fresh parsley for an extra pop of freshness.
Serve immediately as a sandwich filling, on crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
