Not everyone is a fan of egg salad sandwiches, and I for one was not one, when I used to eat eggs. For some reason it just seemed so strange to me to be eating mashed boiled eggs on bread. Well, now I'm mashing tofu and putting it on bread. Still strange, but strangely delicious. This is a quick and healthy recipe to throw together when you need a go to simple recipe for lunch. Even my kids enjoy this recipe, who can be pretty picky themselves.
So give it a try and see how it goes. This recipe is found in my cookbook Simply Fresh on page 66.

This is one of my favorites and my go to when I don’t know what to make.
Wow, this is such a quick recipe and I like that it's a new way I can use tofu. I'm trying to add more plant protein to my meals, so I'm thankful for a new one that's delicious.
