Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (14-16 oz) firm tofu
- 0.25 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 stalk (finely chopped) celery
- 2 tablespoons (minced) red onion
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon seaweed flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices whole grain sandwich bread
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large (sliced) tomato
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. To press, wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object, such as a skillet, on top. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Crumble the pressed tofu into a mixing bowl using your hands or a fork until it resembles the texture of flaked tuna.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, minced red onion, chopped dill pickle, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, seaweed flakes if using, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
Stir well to combine until the mixture is evenly coated and cohesive. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Toast the sandwich bread slices if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on one slice of bread, followed by a generous scoop of the tofuna mixture, a slice or two of tomato, and then topping with another slice of bread.
Repeat with the remaining bread and fillings to make 4 sandwiches in total.
Slice each sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
