Substitution ideas
1| Mayonnaise: Swap out vegan mayonnaise for tahini or cashew cream if you want a different creamy base.
2| Celery: Use chopped cucumbers or bell peppers for a crunchier twist.
3| Dill: If you don’t have dill, fresh parsley or tarragon can add a nice flavor.
4| Chives: Green onions or finely chopped shallots work well in place of chives.
5| Apple Cider Vinegar: Lemon juice or white wine vinegar can be used instead for a tangy kick.
6| Mustard: Try using whole grain mustard or a spicy brown mustard if you prefer a bit more bite.
7| Tofu: Silken tofu can be used for a creamier texture, though it may need more pressing to remove moisture.

Improvisation ideas

2| Spice It Up: Sprinkle in some smoked paprika, a pinch of cayenne pepper, or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
3| Herb Mix: Experiment with different herb combinations like basil, cilantro, or rosemary for unique flavor profiles.
4| Extra Crunch: Add some toasted nuts or seeds like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for added crunch.
5| Creaminess: Mix in a bit of avocado or a spoonful of plain yogurt (vegan or dairy) for extra creaminess.

Some useful tips for the recipe
Here are some useful tips for making the perfect Tofu ‘Egg’ Salad Toast:
1| Press the Tofu Well: Make sure to press the tofu thoroughly to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve the best texture and flavor in your salad.
2| Crumble Tofu for Texture: Crumbling some of the tofu as you mix it in will give the salad a more authentic “egg salad” texture. Leave some chunks for added bite.
3| Adjust Seasonings to Taste: Don’t be afraid to taste and tweak the seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or mustard according to your preference.
4| Chill Before Serving: If you have time, let the tofu salad chill in the fridge for a bit before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together even better.
5| Toast Your Bread: For the best crunch, toast your bread slices just before serving. Freshly toasted bread holds up well against the creamy salad.
6| Add Extra Veggies: Feel free to toss in extra chopped veggies like bell peppers or cucumbers for added crunch and nutrition.
7| Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like dill and chives make a big difference in flavor. If you can, use fresh rather than dried.
8| Experiment with Spices: Play around with different spices like paprika or curry powder to give your salad a unique twist.
9| Serve Immediately: For the crispiest toast, serve the tofu salad on the bread right before eating. This keeps the toast from getting soggy.
10| Make It Ahead: You can prep the tofu salad in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just toast the bread right before serving.

Some storage suggestions
Here are some storage options to keep your Tofu ‘Egg’ Salad fresh and tasty:
Try my Sweet Potato Breakfast Toasts recipe.
1| Airtight Container: Store the tofu salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days.
2| Glass Jar: A glass jar with a tight-sealing lid works great for keeping the salad fresh and making it easy to see how much you have left.
3| Meal Prep Containers: For easy grab-and-go lunches, divide the tofu salad into individual meal prep containers. These are perfect for portion control and convenience.
4| Plastic Wrap: If you don’t have an airtight container, you can cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent the salad from drying out or absorbing other odors from the fridge.
5| Freezer Option: If you want to make a big batch and store it longer, you can freeze the tofu salad. Just make sure it’s in a freezer-safe container. When ready to eat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and stir well before serving.
6| Toasted Bread Storage: If you’re making the toast ahead of time, store the toasted bread separately from the tofu salad to keep it crispy. Store the bread in a paper bag or a breadbox.
7| Keep Dressing Separate: If you’re making the tofu salad ahead but serving later, consider keeping the dressing or creamy ingredients separate until you’re ready to eat. This helps maintain the best texture.
Following these storage tips will help keep your tofu salad tasting fresh and delicious!
