As a testament to the versatility of TOFU, here's some tofu on tofu action. In this easy and healthy 'Egg' Salad Sandwich recipe, I utilized our beloved tofu as replacement for both the egg and the mayo!!
I used to love egg salad sandwiches. I had them so often that I practically grew up on them! Needless to say, I'm so excited to be able to share my love of this simple classic with my little one. This sandwich is nutrient-dense, deliciously nostalgic and filling! It's perfect for packing to school or work, or for snacking on-the-go!
What a joy it is to recreate this childhood favorite into a thoroughly nutritious meal that my whole family loves and enjoys, without compromising our health or ethics!! Win-win-win!💓
