Best Ever Vegan Egg Salad Recipe - Great for Sandwiches!

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@CarolLynnWilliams]

500 gm block firm tofu, halved Chop one half (like egg white) Smoosh other half (like egg yolk) 1 t turmeric 1 t garlic powder 1 t onion powder Cook to the sizzle, adding 1/4 water Dressing: 1 can butter beans, incl liquid 1 T dijon mustard 1 lg clove garlic (optional) 2 t fresh lemon juice 1 t black salt (for eggy flavor) Blend to smooth & creamy Add dressing to tofu, about half Add chopped scallions (optional) Add fresh cracked black pepper

[@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

[@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

[@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 :-)

[@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

[@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!!

[@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

[@Shuggies]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@Supported32320]

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

[@VickyCooksalot]

looks so good. i'm going to have to make this tonight.

[@cookingwithplants]

+Vicky Shaw Enjoy!

[@Fitfoodgeezer]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

+Long Player Kitchen Enjoy :-)

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@VisualizeHealing]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

+Cheryl Houghton Glad you like it :-)

[@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 :-)

[@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

[@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.

[@emills767]

I just made this: it's really good!

[@cookingwithplants]

So glad you like it :-)

[@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

[@V3ganBr33]

Add pickle and paprika, and that's perfect!

[@imjustsayin100]

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

[@ruthannamarteifio9069]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

+Ruthann Amarteifio Enjoy :-)

[@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

[@connaghananthony]

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

[@deskjockie4948]

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

[@danalee2438]

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

[@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

[@smallfootprint2961]

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

[@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 :-)

[@Iheartbethany86]

This looks fantastic...definitely a great transition meal

[@agomex76]

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

[@rleong6013]

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

[@stephenmocanu408]

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

[@ginduf]

this is really different from what i do but i'm going to try it when i get some beans (i'll probably add some chopped celery, parsley and peppers/capsicums but that's what i put in mine). i usually don't precook the tofu and i use veganaise but i'm trying to cut down on added oil so this is worth a try. i tried to post this at pinterest and facebook but the thumbnail picture doesn't show up.

[@cookingwithplants]

+kokoro nagomu It should work now with the thumbnail :-)

[@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!

[@Fokaira]

I will diffidently try it out. Thank you

[@cookingwithplants]

+Fokaira Enjoy!

[@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. :-)

[@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

[@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

[@mystrez]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

+Cherie Stokes Glad you like it :-)

[@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.

[@patriciamcdonald6149]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

+Patricia McDonald Glad you like it :-)

[@markventrillo2582]

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

[@alchemistoxford]

All good - looks very delicious and nutritious. What about adding a touch of red - either marinated or roasted red pepper strips?

[@cookingwithplants]

+alchemistoxford Yes, you can add any extra flavors that you like.

[@alchemistoxford]

+CookingWithPlants Flavor and color - red, yello and green are essential to balanced vegan/vegetarian dishes - peppers, paprika, etc. love the idea of turmeric in the vegan egg salad - and the black salt.

[@cookingwithplants]

alchemistoxford Thank, so glad you like it :-)

[@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.💞

[@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 :-)

[@maryciulla3238]

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

[@nerysmancebo1611]

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

[@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

[@bananapatch9118]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

Great idea! 💚

[@josefinaDandelion]

I bought lava black salt forgetting the pink color of the black salt in the video. Will you be able to provide a link to the black salt you are using? Thank you I can't wait to try this recipe!

[@cookingwithplants]

Here is my amazon link for the black salt: amzn.to/2fklfK6

[@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 :-)

[@shannoncunningham6747]

Oh I'm SO trying that!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Awaken2now]

I'm trying this one. Thank you!!!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Awaken2now Enjoy :-)

[@kathleenswenning9915]

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

[@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.

[@cookingwithplants]

+Miss Maya yulia You can do it :-) x

[@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.

[@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

[@moonchild650]

how many cups does the butter bean tin contain? we don't have these in tins where I live, only dry uncooked ones

[@aminadadniembe5976]

thanks! got to try this one.

[@cookingwithplants]

+Aminada DNIEMBE Enjoy :-)

[@Sapphireblue1844]

Cant wait to make this. Thank you

[@cookingwithplants]

Enjoy!

[@courtniebri]

Would dill relish work as a replacement for the dijon mustard? My family makes traditional egg salad with dill relish.

[@smartbet]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

+smartbet Enjoy :-)

[@bishmaya3232]

Hello, this looks good, I like the ideas of mixing two textures. What are Butter Beans, are they "Lima" Beans? Also what can one replace mustard and pepper with...more lemon? or Paprika? Healthful rather than vinegar an irritant to the delicate lining of the stomach and small intestine. Definitely will try it! Thank-you!

[@cookingwithplants]

+Bish Maya In culinary use there, lima beans and butter beans are distinct, the latter being large and yellow, the former small and green. In areas where both are considered to be lima beans, the green variety may be labelled as "baby" (and less commonly "junior") limas.You can use whichever white beans you like. As for the seasonings, you can adjust it to your own taste. However, the vinegar does give it a great flavor. Vinegar is actually good for you... have a look at www.nutritionfacts.org for lots of great research on this.

[@bishmaya3232]

+CookingWithPlants Thank-you Anja. I know some teach vinegar is okay. I'm part of the school of which know vinegar is destructive to the stomach lining and delicate lining of the small intestines. So I usually replace vinegar with lemon juice. Same occurs with baking sodas and powder, I use yeast instead. Take care now, oh I bought your Kindle Book! Awesome!

[@veroniquetaminiau4164]

[@isabringsuthehorizon]

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

[@cookingwithplants]

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

[@analourenco4245]

looks delicious! but can you tell me which ingredient can I replace for baked beans? without beings any kind of beans or chickpeas

[@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 :-)

[@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!

[@ruthsims8907]

Looks gorgeous.

[@bungabunga-jimford]

can you slice the tofu and use your butterbean/black salt recipe to make an egg patty for a breakfast sandwich?

[@gerdaho1]

Just made this for Sunday brunch, used okara for the crumbly bits, cooked five minutes, then added the chopped tofu. Good with chives too. Very eggy and tasty. Thanks for the recipe! PS, just finished it in lieu of the hardboiled eggs my OH likes with his beetroot ovenbaked chips. Much better than egg!!

[@cookingwithplants]

So glad you like the recipe as much as I do :-)

[@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.

[@MzCAGOMEA]

Making this today!

[@karelbarbur]

Hi! Did u drain the tofu? Can i use silken tofu? And what can i use instead of butter beans? We don’t have that in turkey..
