Vegan ‘Egg’ Salad Sandwich
This Vegan ‘Egg’ Salad Sandwich is made in less than 5 minutes, with just a few simple and clean ingredients. It’s made from tofu and Kala Namak, or Black Salt.You can find Kala Namak at most specialty Indian Markets and on Amazon.Because of Black Salt’s high sulfur content, these eggless sandwiches are extremely reminincent of an old, classic favorite.
I’ll be honest, I never really liked egg salad.
It’s weird. Befire going vegan, I loved eggs; sunny side up (my personal favorite), poached, hard boiled (another fave), scrambled, or fried. I ate them for breakfast alongside garlic fried rice. For lunch, crumbled atop a cobb salad. And for dinner, oozing out of a big burger. If it it was and egg, mostly likely I was eating it.
Unless it was egg salad.
Ashley, on the other hand, grew up on egg salad, and loved it. So much so that when she tells stories of coming home from school to her mom’s egg salad sandwiches, her eyes light up #TrueStory.
Our vegan egg salad sandwiche recipe is great for a quick and healthy school lunch or afternoon snack. Kids and adults (vegan or not), will be sure to enjoy this eggless version!
And unlike it’s cholesterol-laden counterpart, our vegan egg salad sandwich is much healtier with minimal ingredients, and takes just a few minutes to prepare!
*in case you didn’t know, the making of actual egg salad is a proces*

I was missing my egg salad lunches so much since I went vegan, but this recipe is great and totally makes up like the real thing. I haven’t yet located the black salt, but I’m going to keep trying. Thanks for sharing!
So happy you love the recipe, MaryJo ☺️ You can order Black Salt on Amazon for a reasonable price.
I have yet to go vegan, but I have not had meat for two years except for seafood but I’m heading that way !! The problem is I’m lazy and I don’t want to cook and vegan food takes so much effort it seems, thanks for the inspiration
