Ingredients

• 400 g Extra-firm tofu
• 100 g Dill pickles
• 120 g Unsweetened vegan yogurt
• 2 tbsp Vegan mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 tsp Kala namak (black salt)
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 10 g Fresh parsley
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the extra-firm tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Use a tofu press or wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and weigh it down with a heavy object.

Step 2

Slice the pressed tofu into thin, meat-like strips. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and dry-fry the tofu strips for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and slightly crisp around the edges. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

While the tofu cools, finely dice the dill pickles and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegan yogurt, vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, kala namak, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy dressing.

Step 5

Once the tofu has cooled, add the tofu strips to the mixing bowl along with the diced dill pickles and chopped parsley. Gently fold everything together until the tofu strips are fully coated in the dressing.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more kala namak for an eggy flavor or more vinegar for tanginess.

Step 7

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Fleischsalat for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Serve chilled as a sandwich filling, spread on bread, in wraps, or enjoy as a protein-packed side dish.
