Instructions
In a lightly oiled medium-sized skillet, break apart tofu with your fingers. Cook on medium heat until tofu begins to brown, about 10-12 minutes.
Open and drain the chickpeas, then pour them in a large bowl. Mash chickpeas with a potato masher or fork until they're mostly mashed, keeping a little texture.
Chop the red onion, carrot, and celery as fine as you can. Add to large bowl, along with vegan mayo, nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, turmeric, salt, and pepper to taste. Add cooked tofu. Mix thoroughly, taste, and add anything more you think it needs. Sprinkle paprika to taste.
Assemble your sandwiches with tomato slices, lettuce, a little dijon mustard on the bread, and fill with eggless salad. Enjoy!
