I couldn't be more excited for today's tofu salad sandwich recipe! A little fun fact about me and my vegan journey is that eggs were the last thing I gave up. Granted this did only take a few days after giving up dairy, but hey it has to count for something. I bring this up, because I know a good vegan egg recipe when I see one, and this tofu egg salad sandwich did not disappoint! If you're a new vegan, or maybe just looking to incorporate more plant based meals into your diet, but want to make foods you're familiar with, check out some of my other easy vegan recipes:

  • Vegan Lasagna Soup
  • Healthy Vegan Pecan Pie
  • Vegan Sushi Bowl

Why choose this Tofu "egg" Salad Sandwich Recipe over regular egg salad sandwiches:

I assume most of you are vegans if you're on my site, but even if you're not, I would definitely recommend choosing this tofu "egg" salad recipe over a traditional egg salad. Why? Well, first off this recipe has zero cholesterol, and traditional egg salad is packed with cholesterol. I don't think I need to explain why eating less cholesterol is better for you.

This recipe also is loaded with healthy plant based protein. Eating more plant based protein is important, because it is less calorically dense than animal based, therefore it keeps you full just as long, and for less calories!

Lastly, this tofu salad sandwich recipe is very simple and easy. It's perfect for anyone who is not a big fan of cooking, because it only takes a couple steps and uses simple ingredients. I have a lot of simple vegan recipes on my blog, some of my favorite easy recipes include:

  • Red Velvet Baked Oats
  • Roasted Kale Salad
  • Healthy Homemade Granola

And more! I am always uploading new healthy plant based recipes to The All Natural Vegan (every Tuesday and Thursday), so make sure to subscribe to my email list so you never miss when a new recipe drops!

Does this plant based sandwich recipe store in the fridge?

You guys know that I love meal prep friendly recipes, and this one passed the test! This tofu salad is totally meal prep friendly. I will say that it may separate a little in the fridge, but if you give it a little mix it will be just like new again! I strongly encourage you to invest in a tofu press, because it helps squeeze out the xtra water. This will help it to not separate as much.

I love this tofu salad sandwich recipe too, because it's easy to switch up. This helps so that I don't feel like I am eating the same thing every single day. To do this I will serve it in wraps, or just on a bed of spring mix. I love doing this because I love food, and it is so exciting to me. When I eat the same thing every day it takes away the excitement and I am left with a boring meal. I encourage you to make this recipe and try switching up how you serve it each day!

  • Extra firm tofu
