Tofu Egg Salad is deceptively delicious if you’re looking for a lean protein that is relatively low in calories and fat. Serve as a sandwich or wrap with lettuce and tomato and impress your tofu-skeptical friends with this easy to prepare dish.
To ensure the tofu is sufficiently dry, cut the block in half, along its width, and then cut into 8 equal sections.
Wrap four sections in a paper towel, layer on top the other four sections, and cover with a paper towel. Place on a plate and weigh it down to be pressed by using a cast-iron skillet or a cookie sheet weighted with a cookbook or pot. Press for 20-25 minutes at least.
Meanwhile, prepare your remaining ingredients.
Remove excess liquid from the tofu and lightly crumble by hand into a large mixing bowl.
Combine with celery, pickles, pickle juice, seasonings, vegan mayo, and dijon mustard.
Fold together carefully with a rubber spatula.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve the tofu egg salad as a sandwich or wrap with lettuce and tomato or enjoy as a high-protein snack with rice crackers.

Ingredients
Serves: 4 Time: 60-90 minutes
Spiced Eggplant Penne
1 onion, finely chopped
1 eggplant cut in 1/2, dice one half and finely grate the other
3-4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/2 tsp chili flakes, we used thai chili!
2 cups tomato puree
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt
Black pepper
Olive oil
14 oz. penne
Directions
Begin by adding the diced eggplant to a colander. Gently rub a generous amount of salt onto the eggplant and allow it to drain for about 30 minutes or up to an hour. Then, rinse and dry the eggplant. While you wait, you can grate the other half of the eggplant and prepare your other vegetables.
If you don’t have tomato puree, you can blend one can of diced tomatoes and add an 8oz can of tomato sauce to supplement.
Once your vegetables are prepped, heat about 2-3 Tbs of olive oil in a large pan on high heat.
Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent and soft.
Then, add the diced eggplant and cook for 3-4 more minutes.
Next, add the grated eggplant, garlic, and chili flakes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the tomato puree or mix and add in the oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook uncovered for about 15 minutes.
In another pot, boil water for your pasta. Cook for 8-10 minutes or according to the package and drain the water once the pasta is cooked.
Add half of the eggplant mixture to the pasta when done and toss well.
Then, serve the eggplant pasta and top with the remaining sauce.
Top with fresh basil leaves or parmesan (vegan or non) if desired.
