Ingredients
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 2 large Avocado
- 3 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, turmeric powder, nutritional yeast, kala namak, and Dijon mustard to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Fold in the chopped chives, celery, and red onion. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy as a sandwich filling, on toast, or as a side salad.
