Potato Salad with tofu Scramble

This potato salad includes a tofu scramble which offers the same texture of eggs, while at the same time, adding protein. I like lots of pickles, which add a little tang and crunch along with the celery and a hint of curry, which is optional, but definitely takes this salad to the next level.

Ingredients

Potato Salad

  • 1 pound potatoes peeled, and cut into 1/2″ chunks
  • 3 stalks celery 1/4″ chopped
  • 5-6 sweet or dill pickles, chopped
  • 1/2 onion chopped

Dressing:

  • 1/3 cups homemade mayonnaise or store-bought vegan
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or sweetener of your choice. Adjust to your taste if you like it less sweet

  • 1/3 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 tsp tumeric
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder optional

Instructions

Tofu Scramble

  • Saute the onion in a small amount of water in a non-stick pan. Add the spices and sauté until the onion are mostly tender.
  • Crumble the tofu into the pan, salt & pepper, and stir to combine.
  • The mixture should turn yellow from the spices and begin to look like eggs.
  • Continue to cook until most of moisture from the tofu has cooked off and it’s heated through, stirring frequently so as not to stick. Set aside to cool.

Potato Salad

  • Cook the cubed potatoes by steaming for about 20 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside to cool. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the potatoes have cooled, put them into a large bowl along with the tofu scramble, onion, pickles an celery.
  • Whisk the dressing ingredients, vegan mayo, mustard, vinegar, sweetener, in a small bowl and pour over vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste.
