No Egg-Egg Salad

This recipe makes about 4 cups

Directions:

  1. Drain the tofu and press for about 15 minutes to remove excess  moisture
  2. Cut the tofu into small pieces. ( very small is better for rehydration) 
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, diced celery, diced onions, peas, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and turmeric
  4. Stir in the diced tofu and mix until all ingredients are evenly combined 
  5. If using, add the diced pickle spears
  6. Add parchment to your trays
  7. Spoon the “egg” salad onto trays
  8. Freeze dry (my cycle time was 60 hours)
  9. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage

 

Rehydration:

Add ¾ cups freeze-dried egg salad to a bowl along with ⅓ cup of cold water. Rehydration took about an hour for me. I think my tofu pieces were too large. If you cut your tofu smaller it will rehydrate faster.
