I was recently in Prague, Czech Republic at a new cafe. There were little toasties with spreads and toppings that looked super good, but I figured they must be fish, chicken, eggs or something I can’t eat. But no, much to my delight the barista informed me they were all VEGAN! My favorite one was the Tofu “No-Egg” Salad. My mom used to make this for us as kids and I never appreciated it (I would rather have Kraft Singles on a white bread grilled cheese like the rest of my friends). But after my pleasant experience in Prague, I decided to try my hand at making a Tofu “No-Egg” Salad! I love the crunchiness of the celery and nuts mixed with the bite of cilantro and mustard. My Tofu “No-Egg” Salad is great on sandwiches or in a bowl of salad! I served mine with toasted Pumpernickel bread, romaine lettuce, and avocado. Enjoy!
