What’s cool, creamy, comforting and delish? Our yummy eggless-egg salad. Super-firm tofu, crumbled with mayo, toasted slivered almonds, sun-dried tomatoes, scallions and celery creates the perfect summer sammich. Sweet, nutty and creamy with just the perfect amount of crunch.
Considered a “cooling food,” tofu is the perfect staple for hot summer days—not to mention the hottest summer girls. Scoop onto dark rye or any healthful slice you prefer, then pile it high with juicy heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced cukes and crisp cuts of romaine lettuce. For a quick, protein-rich snack, pair with wholegrain crackers or simply a fork – un-egg-spectedly delish!
