Ingredients

• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 cup Frozen green peas
• 4 medium Pickles
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small, even cubes. Do the same with the carrots.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and carrots. Boil for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but still firm. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a smaller pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the green peas for about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Cut the pickles into small, even pieces. Finely chop the red onion.

Step 5

Pat dry the firm tofu with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, carrots, green peas, pickles, red onion, and cubed tofu.

Step 7

In a small bowl, stir together the vegan mayonnaise, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Add the mayonnaise mixture to the vegetable mix. Gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
