Not too eggy

When I was a kid, the smell of egg salad always made me kind of gag. With this recipe, it's not a problem. Furthermore, the tofu in this recipe is free-range and did not have its beak cut off unhumanely! I really like this recipe because it's super easy, tasty, doesn't smell eggy, and when eaten as a sandwich it doesn't look suspicious to co-workers who typically see my lunches and gasp "NOW what are you eating???"

Eggless Egg Salad
adapted from The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics
1 lb. organic extra firm tofu
1/2 cup vegannaise
1/4 cup tahini
1/2 red onion, diced
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
1/4 cup pickle, diced
1 Tbl. dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. turmeric
salt & pepper, to taste
other ideas to add:
splash of tamari
splash of mirin
splash of umeboshi vinegar
tomato, diced
mushrooms, diced

Cut block of tofu in half and place in pot, covered with water. Bring to a boil and let boil for 5 minutes. This improves digestibility. Next, cook onion in a pan until translucent. Remove tofu and onion from heat and let cool. In a bowl, combine all other ingredients. Add onion and chop or crumble tofu in. Mix thoroughly. Eat at room temperature if you are in a hurry, or chill in the refrigerator if you have time.
