One day I had the idea to substitute cooked potato for the tofu in my original egg salad recipe. I loved the result! You can still use tofu if you prefer, or half of both (see tips).

Yield: 2-3 children or 1-2 adults

Ingredients

1 Tbsp tahini
1 Tbsp apple cider or coconut vinegar
3 Tbsp plain nondairy milk
½ tsp Dijon or prepared mustard
½ Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
¼ tsp black salt (see tips)
¼ tsp turmeric (see tips)
⅛ tsp paprika or smoked paprika (see tips)
Few pinches sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste (optional)
½ tsp pure maple syrup
1 cup cooked and cooled diced red or yellow potato (see tips)
¼ cup diced yellow bell pepper
2 Tbsp diced celery
1 Tbsp chopped chives, or ½ tsp dry dill weed (optional; see tips)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, vinegar, milk, and mustard.
2. Add the nutritional yeast, black salt, turmeric, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and maple syrup, and whisk through again.
3. Add the potatoes, bell pepper, celery, and parsley or chives, and stir through.
4. Taste, and season with extra salt if needed (depending on whether you are subbing tofu for potatoes, and also whether you use black salt).
5. Serve, or refrigerate for 2–3 days.

Cooking Tips

1. Black Salt Note: This contributes a distinct “eggy” flavor to this salad. If you omit it, you may want to season with other ingredients including extra salt.
2. Turmeric Note: Turmeric adds color to this mix, not flavor, so you can omit it if you like.
3. Paprika Note: Smoked paprika has an incredible flavor and gives a totally different flavor twist to this salad. It is a tasty addition for adults. If you love it, you can use more to taste.
4. Potato Note: Mashed firm tofu can be substituted for all or half of the potato. Adjust seasoning to taste with tofu.
5. Vegetable Note: You can omit the veggies for the kiddos, or substitute minced cucumber or minced pickles!
6. You can also substitute onion or garlic powder for the chives/dried dill.
