Method

Vegan Egg Salad

  1. Pulse the extra‑firm tofu in a food processor until crumbly, then transfer to a mixing bowl.

  1. Add vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, turmeric, black salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper; stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

  2. Fold in the finely diced dill pickles and the 0.5 tbsp of chopped fresh chives; taste and add additional salt if needed.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. Use a small cup or round cookie cutter to cut circles out of the sliced soft white bread.

  1. Spread a generous scoop of the vegan egg salad onto one bread circle and place another circle on top, pressing lightly so the filling reaches the edges.

  2. Place the finely chopped Grillo’s Pickle de Gallo and fresh chives on separate plates.

  3. Roll the sandwich edges in the chopped pickles and chives, coating the perimeter of each bite‑size sandwich.

  4. Serve the sandwiches immediately; they are cute, crunchy, and full of flavor.
