[@barbersurgeon6145]

I bumped into this YT by chance; I'm feeling lucky. This is the first cooking demo I come across that ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATES AS IT EXPLAINS! No intro blurb that's so annoying when you're in a hurry to know how and what to do... Lady if your other demos are like this, you're my mentor. My thumbs up for this video! I've got all the ingredients in the kitchen; I'll try it now!!!

[@Farmword]

I had to laugh because I would have never thought of chopping some and also crumbling some - genius technique! A beautiful recipe that I will try. Thanks!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Farmword Enjoy :-)

[@RedshiftCindy]

I made this yesterday, and WOW, it is awesome! Not only does it taste great, but it looks like the traditional egg version. I hope to live in a world where THIS version is the traditional, and the egg version is the less used! Thank you for sharing this recipe! Love your videos!

[@lnicole2504]

I just had to tell you that yours is truly the BEST vegan egg salad I have ever had. I have tried many different recipes, but yours truly nails it. I did use vegan mayo instead of your dressing, but the way you cooked and seasoned yours made a huge difference :) Thank you!

[@yolandes55]

O my word Anja it’s the best. Took me two weeks to find black salt but worth every bite Made scramble egg and toast( of course your bread recipe) and it’s amazing . Been craving egg for four months since plantbased wow wow wow

[@dogbeanius]

I just turned vegan and these recipes will be a lifesaver. Thanks so much and can't wait to try this!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Dog Bean Welcome to the awesome vegan lifestyle :-) Glad you like the recipes. You might also want to check out www.nutritionfacts.org on lots of great info re: plant foods, nutrients etc

[@mandereeze3]

I started watching your channel last year when I was a poor college student with little means for grocery shopping or cooking, and it was quite difficult to recreate a lot of your recipes. Now I'm working full time, and I have a car and an apartment with a full kitchen. I'm soooo excited to go try more of your recipes now!! :D

[@cookingwithplants]

Fantastic! So lovely that you have been following me for such a long time. Enjoy your new found freedom!!!

[@sv8911]

Wow! That dressing is fabulous! Excellent recipe.

[@cookingwithplants]

Thank you so much

[@Shuggies]

I have to try this... I really do miss egg salad... really looks delish. Thank you for sharing ✌🤗👌

[@ErinLynnMUA]

I just had to come to this video to let you know I tried this recipe this weekend and it's so good! It has so much flavor, the texture is great and that salt really gave it that egg flavor. It was so easy to make as well. I don't know what I'd do without your channel. You have made my vegan journey so easy and I'm so thankful!

[@cookingwithplants]

+E Lynn I'm so glad that I have been able to help make your vegan journey easy :-) That's why I started this channel and I'm glad to hear that I am fulfilling my dream x

[@minipoopuu12340]

I switched to a clean/vegan diet 6 months ago and I'm so glad I found your channel you've got some amazing recipes!! Thank you for sharing and all that you do. Keep it up!!

[@WestVirginiaDee]

OMG I had this at the Vegan Tasting in Charleston WV last month & it is a GAMECHANGER! The VERY 1ST time I haven't spit tofu out !!! It was INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS & since then, I even found a recipe to make chickpea tofu ♡ I ADORE chickpeas & cannot wait to get my black salt so I can enjoy "eggs" again!!! #BLESSED #GRATITUDE #NOMORE22S #120GONE #StillLosingWeight

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

I'm just wondering if we could use other white beans, such as canned cannellinis or great northerns, or if the specific flavor of the canned butterbeans (limas) is inherent to the salad dressing recipe ???

[@j-sm4554]

One of the great things with vegan home made recipe i find is that usually you can swap an ingredient for another. So dont hesitate to modify to suit your preferences and go experiment. It's a whole new world of cuisine to discover and with room for your own creativity to explore. :-)

[@danalee2438]

going to try this soon! looks like the best recipe i have seen.

[@lynn5160]

Hi Anja. I am a subscriber to your wonderfully innovative recipes on You Tube. Think your fab. And warm wishes from the south of England 😘. I have today made this recipe and it’s really great. When I tasted it however and adjusted it with a little more salt and black peeper I felt there was something just slightly missing.... don’t know if you have it where you are...... Salad Cream! I know it is not an ‘up there’ epicurean condiment but boy a few (or more) tablespoons added and a bit less of your beans mix and I’m in there eating egg mayonnaise! Thanks for amazing recipe. Ps I used Asda dairy free salad cream which you can find in the ‘Free From’ section. X

[@lorraineferguson5544]

Am really excited about your channel that I just discovered. Can't wait to try many of your recipes--they look really good. Thank you!!!

[@cookingwithplants]

So glad to have you here... welcome!

[@Supported32320]

beautiful. easy and quick. ill be trying, thanks!

[@evileyelash8094]

If you don't have tofu you can cook a broad, fat, chunky form of pasta (like fusili, rotini, rigatoni, etc.) until it's really soft/soggy and cut it up into small pieces and use it instead of tofu - that's what they do in Germany. This is a fantastic recipe - thank you for sharing! This is one of my go-tos for easy take to work lunch.

[@cookingwithplants]

So glad you like the recipe. I'm German but have never heard of doing that. Sounds like a great alternative for those that don't eat soy. Have a great day and greetings from Australia :-)

[@evileyelash8094]

Thank you, Anja :) I love your channel and have been following you for a while. The use of noodles was made popular by Bjorn Mochinski, a vegan celebrity chef in Germany. I really like tofu though and playing with the texture like you do :) I don't know if you speak German but here's a video from youtube where Mochinski does a demo on a talkshow kzbin.info/www/bejne/p36qoKqKa959qdE

[@IbleedPnk]

I've just binged watched your videos and you have a great personality, really shines through

[@cookingwithplants]

+I Bleed Pink Thank you so much x

[@VickyCooksalot]

[@cookingwithplants]

+Vicky Shaw Enjoy!

[@Fitfoodgeezer]

This looks absolutely amazing. I will have to try it.

[@cookingwithplants]

+Long Player Kitchen Enjoy :-)

[@Lea-rb9nc]

I will have to increase the garlic and add chopped celery and dill. I do love the added depth of celery and dill.

[@imjustsayin100]

Just had this today, so good!! Really who needs oil! Thank you!!

[@nerysmancebo1611]

I am so happy I found this channel..... So simple and heathy.......can't wait to start cooking your recipes

[@waddlerscabin1647]

you're my favourite vegan food channel your recipes are very easy and quick and use lots of household foods , most vegan channels use foods I've never herd of and local super markets don't stock , I can't wait to try this recipe it looks fab !

[@cookingwithplants]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment :-) I'm so happy to hear that :-)

[@bobbiesewer7324]

Hello, thank you for this recipe, it’s amazing. Do you have any ideas of what I could do with the other half of the sauce? Also how long would you say the mixture lasts for? x

[@VisualizeHealing]

Excellent video, excellent recipe, very impressed and grateful! Thank you!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Cheryl Houghton Glad you like it :-)

[@nanajodi201]

My husband and I have been eating a vegan diet for a little more than a year now - he's much more dedicated than I - but I'm getting there thanks to folks like you with ideas and tips like this! Egg salad is the one egg dish I really miss so this made me very happy! Thank you!

[@cookingwithplants]

+nanajodi201 So glad the recipes are helping you :-) Well done to both of you x

[@agomex76]

love the recipe i am making it tonight..thanks love your channel!!

[@MarilynYusuf]

Just found you, love your channel! It is probably the best vegan cooking channel on youtube. Thank you so much for these videos! I am going to do so many of your recipes and you get my full support as well as a lifelong fan here! So excited to go through your awesome channel! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@cookingwithplants]

+Marilyn Yusuf Welcome Marilyn :-) So glad you like the recipes and channel x

[@immacolata1068]

+Marilyn Yusuf Try the minced beef from cauliflower - it's way, way better tasting than ground beef and way healthier too! :)

[@immacolata1068]

+B-ryan Just curious - do you whack off while you troll vegan sites on your computer in your mommy's basement?

[@brownprincess7189]

+Char Covelesky Char, that was mean Char.

[@cherylriley63]

+Liane Blanco you can now buy vegan mince in Tesco n Sainsburys supermarkets

[@Crisalsera]

An amazing recipe which I enjoy very often. I think it tastes even better when cold from the fridge :) As I don;t like tumeric, I had a bit of leftover boiled carrot which I pureed and added it to give it the egg colour. Still delicious :) Thanks so much!

[@ruthannamarteifio9069]

Wow---I'd forgotten how much I used to love egg salad. Will deffo do this!! Thanks, Anya!!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Ruthann Amarteifio Enjoy :-)

[@Iheartbethany86]

This looks fantastic...definitely a great transition meal

[@prihan4758]

Ive been vegan for 7 months now and really confuse what to eat.. Theres not much foods option here in my country.. Thankyou for your recipe!! Im gonna cook my own food starting from now 😁😁😁😁

[@cookingwithplants]

+prihan Congratulations on your vegan journey :-) Also, check out my 30 days of vegan for lots of simple ideas on what to eat for breakfast, lunch an dinner: kzbin.info/aero/PLkcuLPj9AYfu6Xdcfp-UBzmxQ3HFbu7FK

[@cheezheadz3928]

Plant foods are available in every country, no? Fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts/seeds. I think when people are confused they are over thinking it. And since you have access to the internet (which is full of recipe ideas) there's surely no room for being confused as to what to eat.

[@healthyogiusa]

What country? Hows your vegan journey going?

[@Jdjustsaying]

Hi, I'm just wondering what else you use the left over beans for? Thanks for the recipe.

[@cookingwithplants]

Salads, soups, mashed with avocado etc

[@mystrez]

Just made this and it is fantastic!!! Thanks so much :)

[@cookingwithplants]

+Cherie Stokes Glad you like it :-)

[@rleong6013]

Thank you. This looks delicious and sounds so easy I think even I can make it.

[@deskjockie4948]

Great idea, to prepare the tofu two different ways for the different textures. I'm gonna try this one!

[@emills767]

I just made this: it's really good!

[@cookingwithplants]

So glad you like it :-)

[@smallfootprint2961]

Thanks, Anja. This will be a great go to lunch recipe.

[@3elvenrings]

I just made this alongside the real thing for my husband (who is not quite ready to transition from vegetarian to vegan). I had to taste both versions to make sure the seasoning was right, and I was pleasantly surprised at the degree of similarity. The vegan version would not fool my husband, but it is plenty close enough for me. Thank you very much for this "doppelgänger"!

[@cookingwithplants]

Wooohoooooooo

[@V3ganBr33]

Add pickle and paprika, and that's perfect!

[@LindaCasey]

Oe, you gave me some good ideas. This is a whole different way to make egg salad. My mom used to make hers using mayo, mustard and a little celery and pickle relish (of course I substitute everything with the vegan options). I'm now going to try this recipe to make my potato salad. Thanks for the new ideas.💞

[@isabringsuthehorizon]

Great channel, always looking for some food inspiration. Gonna try a lot of your recipes :)

[@cookingwithplants]

+Isabel Buechner Thanks, glad you like it :-)

[@rumpanuthabetha]

FYI all Indian stores sell black salt (pink in color) as Indians use it in vegetarian chaat recipes also in Indian lemonade

[@premasru]

Yes! It may say Kala Namak on the packet. Kala = black, Namak = salt.

[@lavenderaussie]

You are the best thank you so much for inspiring me to try vegan xxx thank you for all your time your put into filming

[@nni7774]

you are amazing!!!!!! love your page!!! cant wait to try this one :))

[@craftycrafter1960]

New to your channel and to vegan cooking, your recipes are a life saver!

[@dianakara7770]

Looks so good! I will give it a go! What do you normally eat this with??

[@cookingwithplants]

+Diana kara§ I liked it on sweet potatoes or wrapped in lettuce... but it is also great one some nice bread or as egg and lettuce sandwiches.

[@juliewerner9592]

This is so delicious, just made some, didn’t have the black salt but will definitely look out for some. I also added some finely chopped celery for a bit of crunch.. Here comes avocado and ‘egg salad’ wraps with rocket and spinach for lunch ..... whole food plant based rocks , love your Chanel and that dressing 👌👌👌 thanks again, Jules from Oz

[@DigitalPraise7]

Yes. Very vital to this dish to cook the tofu. It holds up better when dressing is added and tastes great.

[@cookingwithplants]

glad you like it :-)

[@connaghananthony]

Trying my best to go 100% vegan and was craving an egg sandwich recently. Cant wait to try this. Thanks.

[@stephenmocanu408]

We are all thankful, but most of all, you are saving the world little by little

[@libertadbrito778]

Great recipe, thank you for sharing. You have the perfect personality for these videos.

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

I’m at 6:09 and salivating profusely over here. I’ve made it similarly but not cooked. I’m very intrigued by your recipe and definitely want to try that. It’s incredible how versatile tofu is and especially what kind of tofu.

[@aiducha]

This is a killer recipe, Anya. Thank for the video. Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada.

[@ellinidesnipiagogoistinagg5046]

What an amazing idea. I had actually noticed that tofu, the way it's added plain in miso soup tastes like egg white. So I'm sure this recipe will be amazing! Will have to try it soon. Thank you again!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Ellinides Nipiagogoi Stin Agglia Enjoy!

[@patriciaprice1784]

Greetings. I'm new to a whole food plant based lifestyle and am trying to carefully find my way. Your channel is very informative. Thank you so very much for sharing.

[@juliajenkins104]

Wow! Amazing recipe!

[@joeschmidt8415]

Most of the recipes for vegan egg salad I find have vegan mayo (made with oil). I'm excited to try it with butter beans instead.

[@cookingwithplants]

It's so good!

[@frostflower5555]

I think I will add a bit of olive oil to it.

[@herculesk5579]

Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe.

[@evalasting50]

Anya I am so enjoying this new journey as a vegan thanks to your great recipes.

[@cookingwithplants]

Fabulous... welcome to the lifestyle and the amazing taste sensations that are now available to you :-)

[@bananapatch9118]

Looks great. I’m going to add chopped green olives too.

[@cookingwithplants]

Great idea! 💚

[@GregDinAZ]

Wow, that looks great! ❤️

[@skybates7240]

It's amazing

[@avril149]

OMG this recipe looks so yummy! I love your addition of black salt, this ingredient is so magical for vegans! Thank you for all your nice video recipes! Kisses from France =)

[@cookingwithplants]

+Marine Tenfou (Stania) So glad you like the recipes :-) x

[@zejzild]

That looks so yummy! In my country, it is usually done with cress and curry in it. I will try to find the black salt. Thanks for the recipe! :)

[@cookingwithplants]

+Linda Christiansen Yum, the addition of cress and curry sounds perfect :-)

[@violatione]

You're awesome and your recipes are spectacular! Thank you for making being vegan easy and fun!

[@cookingwithplants]

Awwww thank you so much :-)

[@Sapphireblue1844]

Cant wait to make this. Thank you

Enjoy!

[@patriciamcdonald6149]

That's astounding, it's exactly like boiled eggs. Thanks for making vegan easy Anja!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Patricia McDonald Glad you like it :-)

[@markwilson1192]

Hi Anya, I am not a vegan, but it is something I have been thinking a lot about lately and am begining to experiemnt more and more with different recipes. I came across your channel and have been enjoying watching your videos. I decided to give them a try. This is the first one I have made. I must admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but your enthusiasm encouraged me to give it a go and by the time I could smell the black salt in the butter bean dressing, I was really excited. That is delicious and I am even going to try it over a salad, but on this "egg" it really amazed me. Keep the videos coming! Loving them :-)

[@cookingwithplants]

+Mark Wilson Fantastic! So glad you are enjoying the recipes :-) Vegan foods tastes so amazing and when you think the taste of "meat" and "dairy" comes from the flavorings, you soon realize that you can eat this way forever without having to harm animals :-) x

[@lesleydyer5464]

I have made tofu egg salad many times, but I never cooked it. Anyway, this looks very good and I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing your recipes.

[@kathleenswenning9915]

Yum! I want to try tofu as well! I haven’t tried chickpeas or tofu yet but I’m excited! Thank you !

[@smartbet]

WOW YUMMY I can't wait to try this recipe!

[@cookingwithplants]

+smartbet Enjoy :-)

[@shannoncunningham6747]

Oh I'm SO trying that!

[@alexl0890]

Apparently, butter beans are lima beans in the US

[@cookingwithplants]

+Alex Lee yes :-) Thanks for letting everyone know Alex, much appreciated.

[@alexl0890]

+CookingWithPlants youre welcome! :-)

[@zeekifyable]

+Alex Lee They're the same type of bean, but butter beans are "mature" (whitish in color) and lima beans are "immature" (green in color). For me, a Floridian, there is a marked difference between the two. I would never call what Anja used "lima beans".

[@alexl0890]

+zeekifyable i see..hmm ive just personally never seen them in stores in California but maybe its because I didnt know what they were. Thanks!!

[@cookingwithplants]

In Australia Lima beans are the white color. So confusing. For the sake of this recipe, any white beans should work :-)

[@cindystrother7710]

YUMMY DELICIOUS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING

[@dianechandler]

Hi - thanks so much for all your videos!! I love your enthusiasm and creativity! Also - the tofu cooking process seems perfect and I'm definitely going to try this recipe soon. Quick question - do you think that using vegan mayo would be a good fit here too instead of the blended bean mixture? Thanks again!!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Diane Chandler Thank you for your awesome feedback :-) Yes vegan mayo and black salt combo will work.

[@abbygailhavel3655]

Looks fantastic! Thank you😋

[@rhaebeam]

wow I have to try this!

[@Fokaira]

I will diffidently try it out. Thank you

[@cookingwithplants]

+Fokaira Enjoy!

I absolutely love your channel 😍

[@cookingwithplants]

Thank you... so glad to have you here :-)

[@markventrillo2582]

What a clever dressing for the Tofu "Egg" Salad!!! Beans, garlic, dijon mustard, lemon 🍋 juice, black salt 😋 YUM!

[@THEOZZYFUL]

Thanks for the recipe. I have one question though, I would love to make this into a curried egg salad. What ingredients would you suggest I add to this?

[@cookingwithplants]

+THEOZZYFUL Make the same way but just add some curry powder to the mixture at the end and stir through. Add 1/4 tsp at a time and adjust to your personal taste.

[@THEOZZYFUL]

CookingWithPlants Thanks, I used to love curried egg salad and now I can have it like this.

[@TheaDragonSpirit]

That looks like a great egg sandwhich recipe. Will have to try it. :)

[@nnaenae]

+B-ryan oh my gosh you're such a troll!

[@catwoman923]

I must try the butter bean mix, I make the tofu black salt for scrambled and egg sandwiches, I use vegan mayo, but this butter bean version must be so much healthier with out the oil Thank you

[@DabneyFountain]

Looks delicious, but i wonder why you chose not to use your mayo instead of the bean mix.

[@xUhMayZhingx]

Mayo is made with eggs and is not vegan. Also VEGAN mayo is oil based and she shows a lot of her recipes without oil.

[@maryciulla3238]

This looks delicious. I will try chopped green or black olives in it and celery.

[@veronicasalas2666]

Okay, this is what I’m having tomorrow with some toasted bread!!

[@cookingwithplants]

Enjoy!

[@dharmatal]

just found your channel. :) like it a lot. i didn't get what kind of beans you used in this video.. and if the beans were already cooked?

[@cookingwithplants]

Thank you :-) You can use any white beans such as cannellini beans... and yes they were cooked :-)

[@dharmatal]

well.. i realized they were cooked :) thanks,

[@Bleueye100]

Thanks, this answer i was looking for :) tomorrow i will make the no egg salad. Exciting..!!! :) Hope my meat- eating family will like it aswell.

[@mahekkulkarni3442]

hi great recipe ... are the butter beans cooked ?? here in India we do not have canned beans , we soak them overnight , wash cook and use

[@cookingwithplants]

Yes, they are cooked.

So glad I found your channel :) Thank you for sharing

[@cookingwithplants]

+MsWatcheverything You're welcome :-)

[@BluelightGaming1]

This is great. I made the recipe a but only put 1 half clove of garlic and left out the onion powder. I can taste something slightly bitter in the final product but not sure what it is. I did use 2 tablespoons of black salt but not sure if that is what I am tasting.
