Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a mixing bowl using your hands or a fork to resemble the texture of scrambled eggs.
Step 2
Add the vegan mayonnaise, dijon mustard, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, and black salt to the crumbled tofu. Stir well to combine and coat the tofu evenly.
Step 3
Mix in the chopped celery, green onions, dill pickles, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 4
Toast the slices of whole grain bread if desired.
Step 5
Assemble each sandwich by placing a large lettuce leaf on one slice of bread, adding a generous amount of the vegan egg salad mixture on top, and closing with another bread slice.
Step 6
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, tangy, and savory flavors.
