Description

Whether you’re vegan, allergic to eggs, or looking for a heart-healthy alternative, this stuff tastes like the real thing.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CASHEW MAYO:
  • 1 cup Non-roasted Cashews
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced (about 1/4 Cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Onion (white Part Of A Green Onion)
  • 1 teaspoon Light Agave Nectar
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Flax Oil
  • _____
  • FOR THE MOCK EGG SALAD:
  • 1 block Firm Tofu (14 Oz Container)
  • 6 Tablespoons Cashew Mayonnaise
  • 4 Tablespoons Minced Onion Greens
  • 4 Tablespoons Minced Celery
  • 3 Tablespoons Prepared Yellow Mustard
  • ½ teaspoons Turmeric
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika, For Garnish

Preparation

For the Cashew Mayo:

Cover the cashews with cold water and let them soak for an hour and then drain.

Put the cashews in a food processor with the lemon juice, onion, agave, salt and 2 Tablespoons of water. Process until it starts to look smooth and then pour the flax oil in slowly (with the processor on). Continue to process for a minute.

(This makes more than you need for the egg salad, so you can refrigerate leftover for another use)

For the Mock Egg Salad:

Drain the water from the tofu and wrap it in a clean dish towel. Squeeze the tofu in the towel, gently, to press out any extra water. Put the tofu in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the green onion (just the greens) and celery and stir.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the cashew mayo, mustard, turmeric, and salt.

Add the mayo mixture to the tofu and stir until well blended. Garnish with paprika.

I have not made this recipe, BUT I gave the cashew mayo recipe to my husband since he’s on a special diet. He made the mayo (minus the agave nectar) and used it with tunafish…and it was great.

I then used the left over mayo to make my own tuna salad. OMG!!! This was fantastic to use for tuna salad, tomato, lettuce, on bread. Loved it!!!

I WILL use this part of the recipe again.

not the first time i made this and it will certainly not be the last. i tend to fudge the recipe often b/c i don’t have green onions unless i’m making spanish rice.

this cashew mayo is fantastic for any other sandwiches as well. i’ve used it with light house “turkey” and just a plain veggie sandwich. i like it far better than veganaise or any other reicipe i’ve tried. it normally doesn’t last longer than 10 days, but it’s good for at least that long.
