Ingredients
- 200 grams Extra firm tofu
- 100 grams Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Dill, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 0.5 Nori sheet
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Drain and press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Once dry, crumble it into small, bite-sized pieces resembling the texture of prawns.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh dill, and roughly chop the capers and half a nori sheet.
In a bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, red onion, dill, capers, and nori. Whisk until well blended.
Add the crumbled tofu to the mixture and gently fold until the tofu is evenly coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a bit more lemon juice or salt if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Vegan Classic Swedish Skagen atop slices of vegan bread or crispbread, garnished with a sprig of dill.
Accompany each serving with a lemon wedge for an added zest before eating.
