Vegetarian Mock "Tuna" Salad

If you're a vegetarian who misses tuna salad or tuna sandwiches, you can get a very similar taste and texture using all the same ingredients, but substituting the tuna with tofu and adding a bit of kelp seaweed for a fishy flavor. Check out what some of the reviewers have said about this recipe - they love this mock tuna salad!

Ingredients:

  • 1 block firm or extra firm tofu, frozen, then thawed and pressed
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 tbsp red onion, minced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp kelp powder

Preparation:

In a small bowl, crumble or mash the tofu with a fork until it reaches the desired consistency. Add the celery and onion.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, soy sauce, lemon juice and kelp. Gently add this mixture to the tofu and stir to combine.

Serve chilled.
