Ingredients
- 200 grams firm tofu
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole grain bread slices
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
Directions
Step 1
Begin by draining the firm tofu and gently patting it dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, crumble the tofu using your fingers or a fork until it resembles the texture of scrambled eggs.
Step 3
Add the vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, fresh chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, adjusting the salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Toast the whole grain bread slices lightly, if desired.
Step 6
Lay out two slices of bread and place a layer of lettuce leaves on each. Add an equal amount of the tofu mixture on top of the lettuce on each slice.
Step 7
Top the tofu mixture with two slices of tomato per sandwich.
Step 8
Cover with the remaining slices of bread to form two full sandwiches.
Step 9
Cut each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
