Instructions
Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a mixing bowl using your hands or a fork to resemble the texture of scrambled eggs.
Add the vegan mayonnaise, dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, and black salt to the crumbled tofu. Stir well to combine and coat the tofu evenly.
Mix in the chopped celery, green onions, dill pickles, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread if desired.
Assemble each sandwich by placing a large lettuce leaf on one slice of bread, adding a generous amount of the vegan egg salad mixture on top, and closing with another bread slice.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, tangy, and savory flavors.
