Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'll be starting school next week and plan to bring my lunch. Does anyone have a healthy egg salad recipe they can share? Possibly cut out some of the mayonaise with a healthier substitute? Thanks! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Susan asked about a healthy egg salad recipe. Substituting soy-based mayo would be one step in the right direction. Adding more veggies to the salad would also help. Here is a recipe using soy, but it could be modified to use egg, maybe with even less mayo. Eggless Salad 1 pound firm tofu, patted dry 1/2 cup soy mayonnaise 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon onion powder 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup carrots, shredded 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup celery, diced 1/4 cup green onions, sliced 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley Wrap the block of tofu in a clean, lint-free towel, place in a colander, and balance a large plate over the top of it. Place a large can or something heavy on top of the plate and leave the tofu to sit for 30 minutes (be sure to put the colander in the sink or place a bowl beneath it to catch the excess water). This pressing technique makes the texture of the tofu much firmer. When done, use your fingers to crumble the pressed tofu into a bowl. Add the soy mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, turmeric, and pepper, and stir well to thoroughly coat the tofu. Add the carrots, red pepper, celery, green onions, and parsley, and stir well to combine. Cover and chill for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. The color of the eggless egg salad will turn more yellow as it chills. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ from Maida Please sign the petition to Allow Pets in Privately Owned Dwellings.
