Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Frozen green peas
- 4 medium Pickles
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 200 grams Firm tofu
- 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, even cubes. Do the same with the carrots.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots. Boil for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but still firm. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a smaller pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the green peas for about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
Cut the pickles into small, even pieces. Finely chop the red onion.
Pat dry the firm tofu with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, carrots, green peas, pickles, red onion, and cubed tofu.
In a small bowl, stir together the vegan mayonnaise, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the mayonnaise mixture to the vegetable mix. Gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
