Vegan ‘Egg’ Salad Recipe

Posted on April 6, 2020January 24, 2023

I’ve been living a vegan lifestyle for about 2.5 years now. It’s been wonderful and I can’t imagine myself ever changing my diet again. Since I’ve gone vegan there are a lot more vegan alternatives for non-vegan products than before. Everything has become even easier! However, this does not mean that there is a substitute for every non-vegan product yet. And so today I am sharing a recipe for a product that can’t be bought vegan in the supermarkets just yet: ‘Egg’ salad.

Conventional Egg Salad

I’ve written a post about the ethical reasons why I don’t consume eggs, you can read that here. However, before going vegan I did consume eggs. And egg salad. Mostly on birthdays and barbecues, since in The Netherlands it’s mostly eaten on toasts and baguette slices. When I went vegan I haven’t really missed it, but around Christmas last year I was thinking of some toppings to put on toasts during dinner. I usually eat all kinds of hummus, vegan mayonaise with spices, meat replacers and sometimes some vegan chicken curry sauce or vegan chicken sate sauce. I must say: I have a lot of choice already. But I wanted to see if some things I hadn’t found or made yet can be replicated.

Vegan ‘Egg’ Salad

I’ve literally succeeded the first time I made this salad. It’s that easy (believe me, I am not a master-chef)! It made me think of how much a non-vegan egg salad relies on the spices, because I think the vegan ‘egg’ salad tastes just the same! Herbs are magical. The vegan ‘egg’ salad is made with tofu instead of boiled eggs but you barely taste that. Tofu has the same structure as a boiled egg and with the spices it all comes together. I would recommend to cut the tofu in really tiny blocks, since it’s about the structure not the taste of the tofu. The tofu does not dominate cut in small pieces. I’ve found the recipe I personally use via a fellow sustainability blogger Zaailingen. And so, all credits go to her for this recipe!

Recipe for a vegan ‘egg’ salad

  • Organic tofu (this one from Smaakt is zero waste as well, but you can also make it yourself)
  • Vegan Mayonaise (I prefer Mayolijn from Remia, it’s the best brand ever and zero waste)
  • Organic unsweetened plant-based yoghurt (I buy this one at Ekoplaza, but you can also make soy yoghurt yourself)
  • Organic curry Powder
  • Organic Black Pepper
  • Organic Salt
  • Organic forest onion or chives (extra cheap if you grow this yourself)
  • Optional: kala namak (I haven’t been able to find this organic)

Just mix all ingredients together and tadaaa: vegan ‘egg’ salad! I listed almost all ingredients organic since I think it’s the most sustainable and I prefer this myself.

Dit is de route van de interrail die ik maakte de afgelopen maand! Over die interrail staat vandaag het eerste artikel (in een reeks van meerdere) online op mijn blog. Ik deel daarin namelijk mijn ervaring én wat tips en tricks. Je kan het nu vinden via de link in mijn bio 🚞.#duurzaamleven #duurzaamreizen #interrail Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio
