This was great! Just like regular egg salad, but cruelty free! Very easy to make and very tasty. I didn't have all the ingredients, so I'm sure that would make it even better-I didn't have the black salt or paprika, but it still tasted yummers! Thanks for the recipe! Rock on! |

this is a good recipe, very tasty! i also added an eighth of a teaspoon of cumin...turned out really well! it is kinda crumbly though so if you are looking for a thick, kinda spreadable egg salad you should use veg mayo, or something to keep it together :) |

I was really excited to make this. I really like the "yolk" part, but was not a fan of the tofu that was boiled with the vinager. I guess my only real problem the the recipe was getting the flavor throughout all of the tofu. It looks really pretty when it is done. I really think this recipe has great potential and recommend people trying it out.
Maybe if I make more "yolk" and mash in through the rest?
any suggestions? |

I just made this and thought it was pretty good. I added a little bit of veg mayo and mashed 1/4 of an avocado in with it. Mmmmmmmmm. |

I think over the past 10 years I've tried 15-20 variations of faux (tofu) Deviled Egg dishes, and this by far is the best. The secret, IMO, is the Black Salt, an amazing addition. Open the jar and the (actually pink) salt smells like boiled eggs.
Bravo

interesting fact: the black salt smells/tastes like boiled eggs due to sulfurous mineral deposits in the salt! |
