Vegan "egg" salad that will make you sing ballads!

VEGAN EGG SALAD...

Well, I must admit, I never really liked the Whole Foods' version of vegan egg salad made from tofu.  Though I have nothing against tofu, I felt that they could do more with it to make it more palatable. In truth, it's not disgusting, but if I'm going to eat vegan egg salad it has to taste more like egg salad!  Eating vegan egg salad at Whole Foods really made me long for something more; so I looked!

A few weeks ago, I started looking for a vegan hard-boiled egg recipe and came across the below version of vegan egg salad for my sandwiches.  Though I did not use this recipe, I think her sandwich looks appetizing and tasty!  I thought I'd share just in case you wanted to try it.  One day, I may try it myself!  Egg Salad recipe: http://mouthwateringvegan.com/2013/04/06/first-best-ever-vegan-egg-mayonnaise-egg-salad-sandwich/

I finally found my hard-boil egg vegan recipe made from coconut milk, which I posted last Thursday (see below vegan egg salad recipe for link).  In short, to make the egg salad, simply make that an'geled' eggs recipe and then combine it with the ingredients I've listed below.  You'll have leftover 'yoke,' which you can use when making egg salad again!  It makes me sing ballads!

Before I go on, I should say a thing about pickle relish.  I cannot find it without the unnecessary food coloring in it.  So, you can make your own and not worry about that poison. I've included a recipe from TastyKitchen.com that makes four pints below.  I think the taste is pretty similar.  You can use honey or agave in the place of sugar, if you like.  It's all about being consciously comfortable with what you are eating.  I don't use relish enough to run out fast, but if you do, just make more.  Recipe: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/canning/dill-pickle-relish-2/

I am thoroughly enjoying this summer sandwich in all its vegan glory.  I have come to love egg salad with sprouts.  However, I didn't have any sprouts on hand, so I went for the romaine lettuce instead.

VEGAN EGG SALAD (My version)

Pre-Instructions:  Make eggs according to the An'geled' Eggs recipe:  http://experientialvegan.blogspot.com/2013/06/vegan-angeled-eggs-that-will-make-you.html

Simply do not pipe the vegan yoke into the 'egg whites.' Instead, dice up the egg whites and reserve about three tablespoons of the vegan yoke for the vegan egg salad (store the rest for more vegan egg salad or an'geled' eggs), adding the following ingredients ...  


Ingredients:
3 tablespoons an'geled' eggs yoke
1 small celery stalk, diced
2 tablespoons grapeseed veganaise
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/8 cup tomatoes, diced
1/8 cup onions, diced
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
1/4 teaspoon nutritional yeast
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon Monk's pepper, optional
1/8 teaspoon paprika
Relish, about a tablespoon, if desired

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in one bowl.  Add extra relish  if desired (aside from what is already in the an'geled' eggs).  Also add more salt if you like, but I find it's salty enough!

Serve on your favorite homemade bread (I toast my bread first) with lettuce or sprouts.
