Transfer the tofu mixture to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped celery, green onions, vegan mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Gently stir to incorporate all ingredients evenly across the mixture.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and ground black pepper, adjusting seasoning as needed to taste.

Step 6

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the salad to cool.
