Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces extra firm tofu, drained and patted dry of all excess moisture

2 teaspoons dill pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon dried dill
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Slice one-third of the tofu and mash in a bowl.
  • Add the other ingredients in whatever order you wish.
  • I like to slice and cube the remaining tofu so it resembles the egg salad I grew up with: kind of chunky with the yolks fully incorporated.
